The former British Embassy in Boloto, facing Kremlin, originally Kharitonenko Mansion
The Embassy site at 10 Smolenskaya Embankment, comprising 0.92 hectares, was offered to the British Government in the mid-1960s and exchanged for two sites in London by an Agreement signed in March 1987. The building contains offices for 250 Embassy staff; 31 flats for staff and facilities for their recreation and welfare, including swimming pool and cafeteria; medical centre and kindergarten; workshops and stores; and covered car parking for 85 cars. The architects of the embassy were Ahrends, Burton and Koralek (ABK) of London and Dublin. The embassy was officially opened by Anne, Princess Royal on 17 May 2000.[2]
In July 2022, the city authorities renamed the territory the embassy is located in from Smolenskaya Embankment to Lugansk People's Republic Square; the embassy stated that it would continue to use the previous address.[4]
