Hey All!

My fiance has his interview at the London US Embassy tomorrow and has read of course that you cannot bring a cell (mobile) phone in. For anyone who has gone through the interview process there, could you tell us if there is a way to bring a phone AT ALL?

Like.. is there an area where you can check your phone in upon arrival so that he doesnt have to travel and be all day with his phone when he is done with the interview?

Thanks for any info!!!

Meggie.

What the PP's said. Gould's is literally 2 minute walk away (maybe less) and it only cost me £3 when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

The embassy used to check items and they quit sometime in the summer of '08 I believe. So Gould's was quick to jump on an opportunity to be of service.

Here's a M A P showing Gould's. It's marked with an Rx symbol, and the green marker is where you get in line at the embassy. You can zoom the map for a closer look.
