The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in London (Indonesian: Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia di London) is the diplomatic mission of Indonesia in the United Kingdom and concurrently accredited to Ireland.[1] From shortly after independence until the end of February 2017, the embassy was located at 38 Grosvenor Square, a leasehold building in Mayfair, close to the (now former) location of the American embassy.[2]

On 1 March 2017, the embassy moved to 30 Great Peter Street in Westminster, a 60,000 square foot freehold building purchased by Indonesia for £40 million.[3]

History

Dr. Subandrio was the first diplomatic representative of Indonesia in the United Kingdom, serving from 1949 to 1954.[4] Over the years, there have been 20 ambassadors, including two air marshals, a lieutenant, and Marty Natalegawa, who later became Indonesia's Minister of Foreign Affairs.[5]

The embassy currently comprises 10 departments, which include two Defence Attachés, one Transportation Attaché, one Trade Attaché, and one Educational Attaché.[6]
