Has the London Passport Office Moved?

What is the Old Address?

The old address of the HM Passport Office in London was the Globe House, 89 Eccleston Square, London, SW1V 1PN. This was a 68,700 sq ft office building that overlooked London Victoria station. The building was occupied by HM Government and in use as The Passport Office until 2023. CBRE assisted with the negotiation of a short-term lease extension of the old property.

What is the New Address?

The new address of HM Passport Office in London is now Warehouse K, 2 Western Gateway, E16 1DR. This move has caused some confusion for those still wanting to apply for passports in the London area. However, there are other ways for people to apply for a passport without travelling to London.

About the new London office location

The London Passport Office has recently moved from their former location to a refurbished warehouse in East London. The new office is located in Warehouse K, a Grade II-listed building which dates back to 1850-1855, when it was built as part of the rapid expansion of the Royal Docks in London. The new location provides passport services to Londoners and those visiting the capital. The Passport Office deals with applications for first adult passport, renewal applications, lost or stolen passports and any other enquiries surrounding passport applications.

At the new location, visitors will benefit from the nearby transport links including Canning Town Underground Station and Custom House DLR Station. The North Circular and A13 roads are also in the vicinity and provide easy access to all areas of London.

The surroundings also provide a range of amenities including parks, cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants. The area also includes a number of historic landmarks such as the Old Vic Theatre which boasts a great selection of theatre performances. The new location offers an excellent opportunity for visitors to explore the history and culture of the Royal Docks.

The refurbishment of Warehouse K also includes seventeen apartments which have been carefully renovated to celebrate as much of the original fabric and character as possible. These apartments are located on the second floor and will allow people to experience a different side to modern living with all amenities right on their doorstep.

The London Passport Office has now moved to Warehouse K and the refurbished building will enable people to quickly and easily access a range of passport services as well as be in close proximity to some great amenities.
