China’s London super-embassy almost certain to get go-ahead next week

The Guardian1/13/2026

Summary

A new Chinese embassy complex in east London is expected to receive formal approval next week, despite concerns from Labour MPs regarding security risks and the impact on Hong Kong and Uyghur exiles. The approval for the super-embassy at Royal Mint Court near Tower Bridge is anticipated to facilitate relations ahead of Keir Starmer's trip to China at the end of January. Officials have stated that there has been no political influence in the planning process.
