UK in the Netherlands

I would like to welcome you to the website of the British Embassy. The British Embassy in the Netherlands works to develop and sustain the important and long-standing relationship between the UK and the Netherlands. This involves dealing with a wide range of political, commercial, security and economic questions of interest to both countries. We also have a Consulate-General in Amsterdam. We, together with the Consulate General, are here to provide support for British nationals visiting or living in the Netherlands.
