The British Business Embassy at Lancaster House

See bigmallet profile

Lancaster House, a fine 19th century house next to St James' Palace  became The British Business Embassy for the duration of the 2012 Olympic Games. This was the largest set of Trade and Industry events ever held in the UK.  Diana Yakeley was invited to curate the contents of 19 palatial rooms to showcase the best of British design and  create conference and meeting rooms to enable delegates to hear inspirational leaders of  business and government promote the  UK  to global delegates.
