LIFE AT THE HIGH COMMISSION

The Australian High Commission (AHC) is in Australia House on the corner of Aldwych & the Strand. The building is the longest continually operating foreign mission in London. The building is beautiful with alot of fascinating history.  The marble spiral staircases have clearly been trodden by many over the years and would no doubt have many stories to tell if they could but speak.  The exhibition room is beautiful and was even the location of Greengot's Bank in the Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone movie.  It is certainly a pleasure to walk in every morning!  Sally has been made to feel incredibly welcome and is happy to be working with a great team of colleagues.
