My official photographer/embassy flag spotter was unavailable today so my less than stellar photos will have to do.
Missed opportunities.
Saudi Arabia
The Saudis have a very impressive embassy (located at 30 Charles Street London W1J 5DZ) with a supremely well maintained front garden, surrounded by high fences and roadblocks. A large fellow who I assumed was a member of security glared at me from beyond the gates and coupled with the lack of signage confirming it to be the embassy I moved along. There was also a couple of policemen armed with machine guns in the area, at first they were standing guard outside a nondescript door around the corner but they soon moved across the road from the Bahamian embassy before settling near the Saudis.
I also found a house owned by the Sultan of Brunei, it's been empty for years apparently.

Myanmar's door is an appropriate color.
ReplyDeleteThey also had a huge camera next to the door, I felt sure the door would open and I'd be snatched inside.
