U.S. Embassy in London Announces Extended Hours of Operation during Olympic Games

26 Jul 2012

The U.S. Embassy in London has informed U.S. citizens that, because of increased activity in central London and major congestion in the city’s public transport systems due to the Olympic Games, the London Embassy will have extended hours of operation from Friday, July 27 to Tuesday, August 14. Public hours at the Embassy will be from 7:30 am until 7 pm, Monday through Friday.

The Embassy notes that appointments are required for standard services such as passports and birth registration service requests. U.S. citizens who need emergency assistance (e.g., a lost or stolen passport) are informed to contact the main Embassy phone number: 0207-499-9000 and request to speak with a representative from the American Citizen Services section.
