Detail InformationEdit

Canada House is a Greek Revival building on Trafalgar Square in London that is part of the High Commission of Canada in London. Canada House hosts the cultural and consular sections of the High Commission, while the political, trade and administrative functions are carried out from Macdonald House in Mayfair.On December 20, 2010 the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade announced that Canada House, the High Commission’s diplomatic, public and educational space in London, would close to undergo necessary renovations and would re-open in the summer of 2012. During this period, all consular services previously provided at Canada House will be based from Macdonald House, 1 Grosvenor Square.
The building which would later become known as Canada House was built between 1824 and 1827 to designs by Sir Robert Smirke, the architect of The British Museum. It was originally used by the Union Club and the Royal College of Physicians. The Canadian government acquired the building in 1923. Renovations were supervised by Septimus Warwick. The building was officially opened on June 29, 1925 by King George V and Queen Mary along with several British prime ministers, past and present, and other dignitaries.
Canada House is very much a public building. It contains the High Commissioner’s office, and hosts conferences, receptions, lectures, lunches and “vernissages” where Canadians and Britons can meet, and has facilities for film, video and television screenings.The Canada House Gallery stages temporary exhibitions of historical and contemporary art and artefacts. There is also an information centre, where visitors can sample Canada and Canadians via computer terminals, a reference library and Reading room, and music-listening posts featuring the works of Canadian singers, songwriters and musicians.
