The vertical line down the plaque is not a fault with our camera, but a rope hanging from a flagpole.

Site: King Haakon VII (1 memorial)

W8, Palace Green, 10

The building appears on Google maps as the Embassy of Norway, although at 25 Belgrave Square there is the Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway. We think this, Palace Green address, is actually the residence of the Norwegian Ambassador. Our photographs are not as sharp as we would like, because they had to be taken surreptitiously, owing to the 'no photography' signs in the road.
