China’s super-embassy in London ‘must be blocked’ after US warning

Plans for a new Chinese “super-embassy” in London must be blocked after a warning from the White House, the Tories have said.

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said the proposals for a huge new complex near the city’s financial hub pose a “security risk” and should be thrown out.

The proposed “mega embassy” at the former Royal Mint site near the Tower of London has been locked in a planning battle for years, with the decision called in for review last year.
