The Embassy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in London (Korean : 주 영국 조선민주주의인민공화국 대사관 Hancha : 駐英國朝鮮民主主義人民共和國大使館 MR Chu Yŏngguk Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk Daesagwan diplomatic mission of North Korea to the United Kingdom .[1] Ambassador of North Korea to the United Kingdom , it is located in a detached house at 73 Gunnersbury Avenue on the northern corner junction with Baronsmede, in Ealing , a suburban district of West London . It is notable for being one of the few embassies in London located in a suburban area, away from the central diplomatic areas of the city.[2] [3]
History [ edit ]
The seven-bedroom property was purchased by the North Korean government for £1.3 million in 2003.[4] [5]
In November 2014, an exhibition of art from the Mansudae Art Studio was held at the embassy, to coincide with the visit of four North Korean artists to London.[6] [7]
The former deputy ambassador Thae Yong-ho defected to South Korea in 2016.[8] Hyon Hak-bong . As of 25 August 2016[update] [9] [10] Kim Jong-un reportedly ordered the execution of those who failed to prevent Thae's defection.[11] [12]
In September 2017 a suspicious package was found outside of the embassy. As a result, the area's roads and homes were closed and evacuated by the Metropolitan Police who also carried out a controlled explosion.[13] [14]
