When researching for an article on British-Colombian relations I was surprised to discover there was no list of Colombian ambassadors to the UK. Thanks mainly to wikipedia I have managed to put together a list, albeit with some gaps. I thought it would be useful to share it on this website so others don't have to do as much work in the future! And also in the hope that other people may also be able to supply the missing information. I have kept the dates simple at this stage.

The Embassy of Colombia in London is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Colombia in the United Kingdom.[1] It is headed by the Ambassador of Colombia to the United Kingdom. It is located in the Knightsbridge district in a building it shares with the Embassy of Ecuador, near Harrods, Hyde Park, and Hans Place, precisely at 3 Hans Crescent[2] at the intersection of Basil Street, and it is serviced by Knightsbridge station.[3][4]

About

[edit]

The embassy is charged with representing the interests of the President and Government of Colombia, improving diplomatic relations between Colombia and the accredited countries, promoting and improving the image and standing of Colombia in the accredited nations, promoting the Culture of Colombia, encouraging and facilitating tourism to and from Colombia, and ensuring the safety of Colombians abroad.

The structure that houses the embassy is a white stucco-fronted red-brick building.[5][6] The embassy is a suite of rooms occupying part of the ground floor of the building, which has been described as an "apartment block".[7]

Colombia also maintains a number of other buildings in the city: a consulate at 35 Portland Place, Marylebone, a Commercial Section at 2 Conduit Street, Mayfair and a Military, Naval & Police Attaché's Office at 83 Victoria Street, Victoria.[1]
