Since 1866, the embassy has been housed on Belgrave Square and already the walk there from Knightsbridge station is a treat: designer stores with inviting window displays, posh cars and beautiful mansions. The embassy itself is a place of amazing beauty, too. The drinks reception was held in the rooms on the first floor - my pictures don't do the place any justice! The Ambassador, Dr Emil Brix, and his wife welcomed us warmly and joined us for dinner.
In addition to a three course menu, we were given a strudel making demonstration. Safe to say that I won't even attempt to make my own strudel at home. No way I could ever get the pastry thin enough to be able to read a newspaper through it....
