Former Consulate-General of the United Kingdom, Shanghai
Former Consulate-General of the United Kingdom, Shanghai, Historic British diplomatic building on the Bund, Shanghai, China
The limestone building features Renaissance Revival design elements with two distinct sections, one facing the Bund and another accessible from Yuanmingyuan Road.
The British Consulate-General operated from this location starting in 1842, serving as both diplomatic headquarters and Supreme Court until Japanese forces occupied it in 1941.
The compound represents the early foreign diplomatic presence in Shanghai, marking the beginning of British-Chinese relations following the Treaty of Nanking.
The restored complex at 33 Waitanyuan now functions as an entertainment and dining venue managed by the Shanghai Peninsula Hotel group.
The building complex spans 23,000 square meters and contains five preserved structures that maintain their original architectural features from the colonial period.
