Between October 2013 and February 2018, it was known as the Embassy of The Gambia due to The Gambia's temporary withdrawal from the Commonwealth, thanks to Yahya Jammeh.[2]
The High Commission had seen several protests in recent times: in 2013 by people opposed to the government of Yahya Jammeh[3] and also in 2013 by those opposed to alleged homophobia in the country.[4]
The Gambia returned to its membership of the Commonwealth on 8 February 2018.[5] Therefore, Francis Blain the former Ambassador became the High Commissioner. He has been replaced since 3 August 2022 by Fatou Bensouda.
