The embassy is located at 10, avenue d'Auderghem/Oudergemlaan and the building also hosts the UK's Mission to the EU (UKMis).

In the 1960s, as the pressure grew on the building, the embassy and mission to the EEC moved to a purposefully built Britannia House.

In the 1970s, the UK Mission to the EEC moved out of the Britannia House to 6, Robert Schuman Roundabout.

The building was acquired by the British Government after the restoration of the embassy following the end of the Second World War.

The owner was Mrs Renée de Becker-Rémy who originally leased the building to the British Ministry of Works and then sold the house and some of its furniture in 1947.
