The Embassy Building: Crewe House
The Saudi Embassy is located in a beautiful building called Crewe House. This large house was built a long time ago, in 1730, by a designer named Edward Sheppard. It stands in its own gardens in Mayfair, a famous part of London.
A Historic London Building
Crewe House was built in the Georgian style. This means it has a classic, grand look. It is a very special building, listed as a Grade II* building. This listing means it is important and protected because of its history and design.
The house has changed a lot over the years. Many of its inside decorations were added in the early 1800s. Some of the original designs from Edward Sheppard might still be there today.
