High Commission of New Zealand, London
High Commission of New Zealand, London, Diplomatic mission near Pall Mall, London, United Kingdom
New Zealand House is a diplomatic mission located at the intersection of Haymarket and Pall Mall in central London. The tower extends 18 stories above a four-story base section.
The New Zealand Government acquired the site in 1948, replacing the Carlton Hotel destroyed by German bombs during World War II. Construction brought new architecture to a location shaped by wartime damage.
The reception area features Te Pouihi, a wooden pillar carved by Māori artist Inia Te Wiata that rises through multiple floors of the building.
The building is open on weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM for diplomatic services and passport support for New Zealand citizens. Visitors should expect standard security procedures when entering.
The building required direct approval from the British Cabinet for construction due to its height, marking a departure from traditional London architectural limits. This exception reveals how diplomatic facilities could bypass ordinary planning rules.
