Embassy of the United Kingdom in Moscow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Embassy in Moscow is the chief diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom in the Russian Federation. It is located at 10 Smolenskaya Naberezhnaya (Russian: Смоленская набережная, 10) in the Arbat District of Moscow.[1] The land on which the Embassy is built measures 0.92 hectares and was exchanged in the 1960s for two sites in London[2]
In 2007 a sculpture of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson as portrayed by Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin was erected on the embankment alongside the embassy (sculptor Andrey Orlov). [3]
