14 Princes Gate, Grade II listed building in Westminster, England

The building stands at the eastern end of a terrace facing Hyde Park, featuring Beaux-Arts architectural elements and Native American head keystones above windows.

From the 1920s to 1950s, the property served as the official residence for eight American ambassadors, including Charles Gates Dawes and Joseph P Kennedy.

The structure underwent modifications by architect Thomas Hastings, who incorporated grand staircases and architectural elements reflecting Anglo-American connections.

The building changed functions multiple times, from ambassadorial residence to Independent Television Authority headquarters and later Royal College of General Practitioners until 2010.

During the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege at neighboring number 16, rooms within this building were used by Special Air Service for operation planning.

Location: City of Westminster
