All you should find out about Kim Jong-un’s £2m London den the place curry-loving diplomats hang around

Need to know

The official embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea sits at the end of Gunnersbury Avenue in north west London, conveniently close to a curry house beloved by diplomats

• North Korean diplomats at Kim Jong-un’s London embassy have been spotted living surprisingly normal lives – munching on local curry takeaways and playing basketball in their back garden.
• Neighbours in Gunnersbury Avenue, Ealing, say the secretive staff from the hermit state are only seen when they pop out for a cheeky curry from their local takeaway.
• One local revealed: “They’re generally very nice people, they don’t cause trouble.”
• Behind the high walls of their £2million terraced house, the diplomats regularly use a basketball hoop that was supposedly installed for the ambassador’s children.
• A neighbour claims they visit the curry house around the corner and get food delivered “fairly regularly” – a luxury that’s thought to be hard to come by back in North Korea.
• The embassy has been operating from the residential street since 2003, with locals saying the presence of Kim Jong-un’s staff is “quite amusing” despite attracting unwanted attention from protesters and TikTokers desperate for a glimpse inside.
