The Embassy of Finland in London is the diplomatic mission of Finland in the United Kingdom.
The Grade II listed building was built by Thomas Cubitt in the 1830s and had many occupants until it became the Finnish embassy in 1975.
Finland also maintains a Trade Centre at 149 Hammersmith Road, Hammersmith.
A protest was held outside the embassy in 2011 by people alleging that the then-Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi's election campaign had been part-funded by the fur industry.
