Revdoc,
The US Embassy is clear, on Hannover Sq. Great story about it, built on land held leasehold from the Grosvenor Estate. Uncle Sam prefers to own the land on which his embassies stand, so made an approach to the Duke of W. (father of the present one) and asked if they could come to some arrangement. The Duke said he was quite willing to come to an arrangement, that an ancestor had some property confiscated as a result of a civil disturbance in America a couple of centuries ago and if he could have it back he would do a deal. Asked what it was, he replied “I believe you now call it the State of Florida.” End of discussion.
