The British Consulate-General, Los Angeles is the United Kingdom's local consulate for Southern California, as well as Arizona, Utah, Hawaii, Nevada, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.
[1] During the nineteenth century, the British Consulate established deep and extensive ties along the West Coast.
Hawaii's first European visitor was Captain James Cook, who died on the Big Island: the Union Jack is part of its state flag, testifying to old British connections there.
[2] Set in Hancock Park at 450 South June Street, the Residence was designed by Los Angeles architect Wallace Neff, and completed in 1928.
The Residence is used for many events, all for the purpose of enriching and developing the multifarious connections between Britain and Los Angeles in business, politics, education, culture, science and many other fields of endeavour.
