  The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in London (Indonesian: Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia di London) is the diplomatic mission of Indonesia in the United Kingdom and concurrently accredited to the Republic of Ireland. From shortly after independence until the end of February 2017, the embassy was located at 38 Grosvenor Square, a leasehold building in Mayfair, close to the (now former) location of the American embassy.
  
  On 1 March 2017, the embassy moved to 30 Great Peter Street in Westminster, a 60,000 square foot freehold building purchased by Indonesia for £40 million.
  
  ## History
