Warden Message from U.S. Embassy London
The escalation of hostilities along the Israeli and Lebanese border has resulted in a strong possibility of large public demonstrations, which may turn violent and anti-American in nature. As a reminder, even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations.
For the latest security information, Americans should regularly monitor the Department's web site at
http://travel.state.gov
where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings, and Public Announcements can be found. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S., or, for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
Americans living or traveling abroad are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department's travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov, so that they can obtain updated information on travel and security where they are traveling. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.You may contact the U.S. Embassy in London at (020) 7499-9000 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. GMT.
