November update of the Foreign Heads of Mission Precedence list, London Diplomatic list, Consulates in the UK outside London and the Honorary Consuls lists. The London Diplomatic, Consular Offices outside London and Honorary Consulates within the UK updated. December update of the lists: London diplomatic, Honorary consulates in the UK and Consular offices outside London. When Ambassador Elliot Richardson arrived in 1975 his wife said, “the house was absolutely wonderful. . . a joy to move into” and when the Armstrongs moved in a year later, Ambassador Anne Armstrong said, “I ran through the house like a kid, I’d never seen anything so beautiful. It was like fairyland and in such beautiful shape.”

In 1939, with World War II about to erupt and her marriage to Count Reventlow ending, Barbara Hutton returned to America. World War II August update of the London Diplomatic, Honorary consulates in the UK and Consular offices outside London lists. March 2021 updates for London Diplomatic List, Honorary Consulates within the UK and Consular Offices outside London Visiting U.S. Presidents regularly stay at the residence watched over by portraits of their predecessors, some of whom served as both President of the United States and U.S. envoys to London. President George Bush met there with President Mikhail Gorbachev during the 1991 G-7 Summit. President Reagan was a frequent visitor. More recently, Senator George Mitchell hosted participants in the Northern Ireland Peace Process at Winfield House during his review of the Good Friday agreement in November 1999. Other American visitors have included astronauts, bankers, industrialists, students, congressmen, state governors and trade delegations, Supreme Court judges and U.S. government officials.

May update of the London Diplomatic list, consulates in the UK outside London and the honorary consuls lists For the token price of an American dollar, Winfield House passed into official American ownership. Art Today Winfield House continues the tradition of receiving a host of distinguished guests. Over the years these have included Queen Elizabeth and other members of the royal family, and many other prominent figures in business, politics, diplomacy, banking, the armed services, education and the arts. The late Princess Diana once brought Princes William and Harry to see the presidential helicopter Marine One parked on the lawn.

July 2021 update of the London Diplomatic List, Honorary Consulates within the UK and Consular Offices outside London. Three documents updated: London Diplomatic list, honorary consuls list, and consulates outside London. Running the Embassy bus led Williams to conclude that shelters are not really the answer to solving rough sleeping. If people are to get off the streets, they need stable tenancies and wrap-around support. They also need jobs, which is why Embassy partners with 18 local businesses who agree to give interviews and hopefully employment to its tenants.Leonard Rome Guthrie, a partner in the firm Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie, was commissioned to design the new house. The spacious, well-conceived ground floor plans are Guthrie’s original design, although the front entrance was added in 1954. The large reception hall runs nearly the depth of the house to the French doors that open to the terrace. The drawing rooms are to the right, the family dining room, the state dining room, the kitchen and staff offices to the left.

The preconception that most homeless people are addicts is not true, said Williams: “Sixty per cent of our chaps are homeless because of relationship breakdowns.” October update of the London Diplomatic list, Consulates in the UK outside London and the Honorary Consuls lists.

Not only the Ambassadors, but other generous Americans contributed to the house, among them Mr. Rionda Braga, a business man, donated a bronze sculpture, “The Creation of Adam” which stands in the garden to the right of the terrace. Mr. Braga felt that the statue’s motif, two hands inside a globe, signified British and American friendship. November 2020 update of Honorary Consulates within the UK, Consular Offices outside London and London Diplomatic lists Winfield House is unique among American residences in that not only was it originally a gift to U.S. Government but it has since been showered with riches in the form of antique furniture, paintings, porcelain, china, glass, chandeliers, objets d’art – all the things that make it the beautiful house visitors see today. Updated attachments: London Diplomatic List, Honorary Consulates in the UK and Consular offices outside London.
