My interview was at 10:00 on the 22nd of August, a little over 2 weeks after my medical. My friend came with me for the day for support!
We arrived at Vauxhall just after 9am. It didn't take long to see the embassy via the riverside walk. You can also see Battersea power station and the super cool swimming pool suspended between two buildings. We did have issue figuring out how to get to the South Pavillion Consular entrance, we circled the building via Ponton Rd and then saw the queue. There are also armed guards, is there anything more American?
When we arrived there was a small queue of around 10 people leading up to a podium outside the building. I joined the queue, which skirted the wall. Every bit of advice you see that says 'ignore this and join the queue on the left' is correct. A lady asked me if I had checked in, and sent me straight up to the podium's left hand side (there was no queue). The lady at the podium asked for my passport and DS-160, w... read complete review

The process could not have gone any smoother. The official directed my fiancee to a cafe that stored her bag for a fee, which was refunded in the form of a voucher for the cafe. Security was very standard similar to that of the airport. Signs clearly indicated where to go and a number was assigned. At the first window the attendant took the necessary documents and reviewed information and then said to wait for our number to be called again. The second attendant was very friendly and personable, asking several questions, but nothing too challenging. He stated the application was approved and we were on our way. We were in and out in about an hour or just over.

*LONG DETAILED REVIEW BELOW*
So, my appointment was at 9:30am, I arrived at the embassy at around 08:15am where I saw two lines, the line on the left was much bigger than the other but was moving a lot faster The line on the left leads to two people at an outside desk for checking DS-160 and the line on the right lead you straight to security.
There were four line attendants who worked for the embassy and were directing people. I told a lady my appointment was at 09:30, she told me to get in the line on the left to check in even if I am early. So i joined in.
The line moved quite fast and i was probably at the front at around 08:25. I handed my DS-160 and passport to the lady and she signed it and told me to join the line on the right at 08:45. I sat down on the benches close by and went over my docs again, I grew anxious as i saw both lines getting much much longer, so I decided to join at 08:35, I got to the front and the security officer... read complete review

I was in and out within about two hours. Navigating the building wasn't as hard as it's made out online and then both people were wonderful and I was told I was approved there and then after a small handful of questions.

I had my interview at the London embassy on 8th August 2023, and I agree with all other reviews, a really smooth experience.
My appointment was scheduled for 9.30am. I arrived at the embassy at 8.45am. I have read reviews that both tell you to join the long queue and skip the long queue and go to the desk at the front. Being so early, I decided to join the queue (I couldn't even see the desk at the front!). An embassy worker came down the line and asked everyone who had not checked in to go to the desk to check in.
I went to the desk and advised as I had a DS-260 I did not need to re-join the queue, but I was too early and I needed to wait at the side until 9am.
Point to note: this queuing and waiting is all outdoors - please bring an umbrella if needed as there is no cover from the rain.
At 9am I went back to the desk where I was checked in and sent right to the front of the queue. The front of the queue was into a small building whi... read complete review
