FOREIGN & COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (London) - official review [with video]
This is one of the government departments that open during the Open House weekend (September).
That means you only have one chance per year.
LOCATION. Nearest station: Westminster. As you exit the station, walk away from the river and turn right immediately into Parliament Street. Take your first left into Great George Street and FCO’s entrance is right in the middle.
WHAT’S INSIDE. Imagine a building so spacious that people can chill everywhere. This can happen at the in-house Costa, but basically also anywhere with seats.
As you get to the atrium (photo) you’ll find a number of exhibitions on FCO’s efforts in diversity and war involvements.
The rest of the building is conveniently squashed into a one-route journey, leading you through meeting rooms and tapestries as if you’re walking through Kensington Palace.
You can get a glimpse of 10 Downing Street at the exit hall.
(Nearby attractions: HM Treasury is right across the street.)

Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
