Former Consulate-General of the United Kingdom, Shanghai, Historic British diplomatic building on the Bund, Shanghai, China

The Former Consulate-General of the United Kingdom, Shanghai is a limestone building with Renaissance Revival design elements located on the Bund. It divides into two distinct sections, one facing the Bund and another accessible from Yuanmingyuan Road.

The British Consulate-General opened in Shanghai on 14 November 1843. The consulate building, completed on 21 July 1849, burned down on Christmas Eve 1870 and was rebuilt in 1873. The site also housed the British Supreme Court for China until Japanese forces occupied it on 8 December 1941.

The compound represents the early foreign diplomatic presence in Shanghai and marks the beginning of British-Chinese relations following the Treaty of Nanking. Visitors can see how the spaces were organized for both diplomatic work and judicial functions.

The restored complex at 33 Waitanyuan now functions as an entertainment and dining venue managed by the Shanghai Peninsula Hotel group. Access to certain areas may vary depending on ongoing events and activities taking place at the site.

The compound's five protected buildings include the former Union Church and the former Shanghai Rowing Club alongside the consulate and consul's residence. The gardens hold 27 ancient and famous trees, and the site once covered 126 mu, of which about 58 mu remain.
