What’s odd here is that almost ALL embassies in London, are within a five-minute walk of Hyde Park.

Article about the new building explaining, inter alia, the reasons for the location:

London's new US Embassy

Hyped up talk from the Guardian article on the building. But if you google the half-mile around the new structure, it’s a joke. Unless there is massive city planning deal going on and the whole area to change, this is an industrial area next to the river. It’d be like Maceys putting up a new store next to the cattle sale barn in Nashville.
