Got a west midlands train to Euston then the Victoria line to Vauxhall. Walk to the Embassy was short and very easy (signposted right as you turn onto Nine Elms Lane too). Arrived 30 minutes early for my appointment and headed straight to the desk at the South Pavillion - was immediately told that as K1 is being processed by the Immigrant visa unit I could go straight through to the security area. Security was quick - I had to show the guard that my mobile phone switched on and open any app, then I put my bag and documents through the x-ray machine and walked through the scanner airport-style.
I waited in the (fairly short - only a little way out of the door) visa services queue for about 15 minutes before getting my sticker and being sent up to the waiting area with the windows. Once I arrived, my number was on screen above a window so I went straight over for a document check. The man who dealt with me here was very friendly and clear, though when I gave him my fiance'... read complete review

Arrived at the embassy about an hour or so before my fiance's appointment. We waited outside on bench by the lovely water area they have outside the building. Approximately 15 minutes before the appointment, we approached the entrance. We heard instructions to have out the DS-160 confirmation page and my fiance's visa ready. We were then told that normally I would not be permitted in the interview, but they granted me access after presenting identification (driver's license was sufficient). Again, this is all outside the building. Upon entrance to the building, we were greeted by security who performed an airport-like security search with the exception of having to open an app on our cell phones. I guess to demonstrate that they were actually only cell phones. We were then told to go through a set of doors that led to an another building. We were told to skip the queue that would be in the next building and go to the front of the line. We did this with some confusion as there was no on... read complete review

Really quick! The staff were straight to the point and relatively friendly. Easy to find and the process was well explained and easy to follow.

I travelled into London by car and parked at Westfield Stratford City for my 10am interview. Parking for between 3-14 hours is only £7.50 and the total tube cost was only £5.50 (Return) (Central line and Victoria line, from Vauxhall station the embassy is only a few mins walk.
I queued up in the line at the red (visa services) check point they checked my DS-160 and passport they signed the DS-160 and then told me to wait in another line to the side as I was early. 30 min before my appointment they allowed those waiting in my line through to the security check point. Security is like airport style security buy very quick and efficient.
When my document were checked I was advised not to queue up inside and to go straight to the front, the queue inside was very long and seemed slow moving, so I was fortunate I was able to walk straight to the front. They will ask to see the DS-160 again and then will print out and stick your ticket number on the form, I was then told ... read complete review

I travelled into London Waterloo on the 9:15 train from Basingstoke for my Monday appointment - I would be arriving in London just after 10am so was allowed to purchase a cheaper off-peak ticket. Once at Waterloo there were overground trains every few minutes to Vauxhall from Platforms 1-4 - only a few minutes ride away. Once at Vauxhall Station I flagged down a taxi cab and quickly arrived in front of the Embassy building.
I turned up to the South Pavilion of the embassy building at 10:45am for my 11:30am appointment and was allowed straight through. I was required to show my DS-160 printout at this first outdoor checkpoint along with my passport and appointment confirmation printout. Staff were quick and professional at checking my documents whilst they dealt with a very confused older woman who was blocking the way for everyone and didn't know why she was there. There are many armed guards around the outside of the building, which may be scary for young children or an... read complete review
