Gambia High Commission in London

Embassy of The Gambia in London, United Kingdom

Overview

The Gambia High Commission in London represents West Africa's smallest mainland nation in the United Kingdom, facilitating consular services for Gambians in Britain while supporting bilateral relations built on historical Commonwealth ties and contemporary tourism flows. British visitors rank among The Gambia's most important tourism markets, drawn to year-round sunshine, Atlantic coast beach resorts centered on Kololi and Kotu, and wildlife experiences along The Gambia River including birdwatching expeditions to national parks. The High Commission processes visa applications for UK residents traveling to The Gambia, provides passport and registration services for the Gambian diaspora community residing across Britain, and coordinates with UK authorities on matters ranging from trade in groundnuts and cashews to development cooperation supporting democratic governance. With The Gambia's economy heavily dependent on British tourism revenue and remittances from Gambians working in the UK, the High Commission plays a vital role maintaining bilateral ties that generate essential foreign exchange and strengthen cultural connections between the two Commonwealth nations.
