"Unlike most foreign embassies and high commissions in London, which tend to cluster in central London, the Embassy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in London can be found in a residential home on Gunnersbury Avenue in Ealing. It's been the North Korean embassy, and home to their Ambassador since 2003, which was a couple of years after the UK and North Korea first established formal diplomatic relations."
"Described by Grimshaw Homes as an "attractive original 4-bedroom detached 1920s residence", the house had a large rear garden, which must be ideal for chatting to their reclusive neighbour. The estate agent doesn't mention the neighbour, although as they fly the national flag in their front garden, it'll be hard to miss when turning up for a viewing. Yours for a shade under £1.7 million."
The North Korean embassy in London occupies a residential home on Gunnersbury Avenue in Ealing, rather than a central diplomatic cluster. The property has served as the embassy and the ambassador's residence since 2003, following establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the UK and North Korea. The current ambassador, Choe Il, was appointed in 2016 after his predecessor was recalled after a defection. Neighbours who moved in in 2014 are selling their four-bedroom 1920s detached house, described by Grimshaw Homes as an 'attractive original' residence with a large rear garden. The house is on the market for just under £1.7 million; the embassy flies a national flag in its front garden.
