Is cell phone allowed in London embassy?

[alicekitty 8]

There's seems to be conflicting info and reports. Do they allow you to bring cell phones into the embassy?

Thanks

Yes, you can bring phones into the embassy but not laptops. Small devices only.

Well, based on my experience in different countries for US embassies all devices is prohibited. I don't know if it's in the UK is different.

Good luck!

This must have changed in recent years. I went to the London embassy in 2011 and wasn't allowed any electronic devices.

Oh yes a lot has changed in 5 years!

Including the fees!

In 2014 they allowed phones. I think that year or the year before was the year they began allowing them in. Must have sucked for that pharmacy that was making money holding on to phones for the applicants lol.

Yep, 2014 they started to allow phones.

Anyone know if the pharmacy still holds luggage for people going to the embassy?

That's what I heard, but then people who recently visited the embassy in London seem to say otherwise.

Thank you so much. This is super helpful. Their current website says:

"You can bring your mobile phone, e-reader, iPad or other tablet computer during your visit. But iPad keyboards and other tablet keyboards are not allowed, nor are laptop computers, suitcases and other large bags."

Hope this is helpful for others too who are on the same boat

Is that a Boots? It'll be helpful if they hold stuff for people, in case the security says the bag is too big or something like that

They allow phones as of Nov 2016... My fiancé was texting me the whole time describing the place. No pictures could be taken though.

Phones, tablets, Kindles all allowed, don't take advice from people who have never been to the London Embassy!!

I sat there with all my gizmo's!!

I've just found this link, obviously its been updated since its original date. It says the embassy has storage for bags but the chemist still has lockers too.
