Embassy and Consulate of Turkmenistan
Kensington and Chelsea Council has approved plans for the Turkmenistan Embassy to be established at 53 Victoria Road.
Kensington and Chelsea Council's Planning Applications Committee approved plans in October 2026 for the Turkmenistan Embassy to be established at 53 Victoria Road. This decision grants permission for the change of use of the property from a single-family dwelling to an Embassy and Consulate of Turkmenistan, including the installation of a flagpole, National Emblem, and associated signage.
The approval means the site, which is situated within the De Vere Conservation Area, can now be converted to host the diplomatic mission. This follows the committee's decision on Tuesday, 20 October 2026.
