Having been on the market for just over a year, the US embassy building in London’s Grosvenor Square is to be bought by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Co. The building was designed by Eero Saarinen and built in 1960, although the American embassy has been located in Grosvenor Square since 1938, and America’s ties to London’s Mayfair district date back to 1785, when John Adams, the first US ambassador to Britain and later the second US President, lived there.
