The Embassy of Ecuador to the United Kingdom is located in a white stucco-fronted red-brick building on Hans Crescent in the Knightsbridge area of London. The embassy is a suite of rooms occupying part of the ground floor of the building, which has been described as an "apartment block".
As of August 2012, Julian Assange is a resident in the embassy, after initially entering it on 19 June 2012 claiming diplomatic asylum, which was eventually granted by the Ecuadorian government on 16 August 2012.
