The US Ambassador to Britain Woody Johnson has shown off his new £750 million embassy building in south London.
The structure is believed to be the most expensive embassy building in the world and features state-of-the-art security systems.

The state-of-the-art building has been unveiled today by the US Ambassador Woody Johnson who said the £750 million embassy was a 'signal to the world' that the special relationship between Britain and the US is as strong as ever.
He said he would like to have President Trump at the embassy's official opening in February. The building is protected by a moat and features a sculpture by British artist Rachel Whiteread which depicts a typical home in the United States built in the 1950s.
