450 South June Street

450 South June Street, an architectural gem by Wallace Neff, is a 1928 house purchased fifty years ago by the British Government to be the permanent official Residence for the British Consul General. Bob Peirce is the twelfth Consul General to live at the Residence.

The Residence is used for many different kinds of events, all for the purpose of enriching and developing the connections between Britain and Los Angeles. There have been lunches and dinners for senior members of the British Government and members of the Royal Family; receptions for the music, film, video game, energy, pharmaceutical and medical industries; a champagne tea party for British Oscar nominees (seven of whom won Oscars); receptions for several British universities; a chamber music recital and a fashion show luncheon, among many other events. Several thousand people come to Residence every year.
