Past Locations of the Embassy
Before moving to Fitzroy Square, the Liberian Embassy was in other parts of London. Until 1986, it was located at a place called Prince's Gate. Later, from 1986 into the early 2000s, it moved to Pembridge Place in Notting Hill. These moves show how embassies sometimes change locations over time.
