Tuvalu House
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Diplomatic Mission
Tuvalu House is the honorary consulate of the Government of Tuvalu, located at 230 Worple Road in the Wimbledon area of London, England.[1]
Background
Since independence in 1978, Tuvalu has been a Commonwealth realm, with the Governor-General of Tuvalu representing His Majesty the King in Tuvalu. Based from Tuvalu House, Sir Iftikhar A. Ayaz has represented the Government of Tuvalu in London in since 1996 at a consular level.[2][3]
Since the Government of Tuvalu does not have a large, organized consular or diplomatic service, it has generally preferred to engage in ad hoc trade or political missions, where the need arises. Other than Tuvalu's High Commission in Fiji, and other contacts in the Pacific region, Tuvalu House is thus somewhat of an exception as an overseas office representing Tuvalu. Tuvalu only maintains one embassy in Europe, in Brussels, as well as an Honorary Consulate in Switzerland and Germany.[4]
There is no British Embassy or Consulate in Tuvalu.[5]
