The Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in London (Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선민주주의인민공화국 대사관; MR: Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk Daesagwan) is the diplomatic mission of North Korea to the United Kingdom.[1] It is located in a detached house at 73 Gunnersbury Avenue on the northern corner junction with Baronsmede, in Gunnersbury, a suburban district of west London. It is notable for being one of the few embassies in London located in a suburban area, away from the central diplomatic areas of the city; indeed it is the western-most embassy in the capital.[2][3] The property was purchased by the North Korean government in 2003.[4]

In November 2014 an exhibition of art from the Mansudae Art Studio was held at the embassy, to coincide with the visit of four North Korean artists to London.[5][6]
