I know its in Madrid but that鈥檚 all. http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/servlet... www.spanishpropertyworld.com/b... - 35k - The British Embassy in Madrid has been located in Fernando el Santo Street in the district of Chamberi since April 1905. The palace that once belonged to the Marquis of Alava, was demolished in the 1960s to allow for the construction of the current circular structure designed by architect W.S. Bryant. The three-floor building is considered to be a good example of 1960s architecture. The centre of the office block is open and a decorative pool and cascade occupy the ground floor level. Due to the ever growing number of customers, the Consular Section was moved out in the 1980s and it is now situated in Paseo de Recoletos 7/9 close to Cibeles Square. SIR STEPHEN J. L. WRIGHT H.M.
