The Embassy of Afghanistan in London is the diplomatic mission of Afghanistan in the United Kingdom.[3] The building now used for the embassy was constructed by Charles James Freake in the late 1850s.[4]
Earlier residents include the industrialist Charles Wright, chairman of Baldwins,[5] and George Whiteley, 1st Baron Marchamley.[6]
It was bought by Afghanistan in 1925.[1]
