Rejected petition Change the name of Kensington Palace Gardens to Gardens of the Heroes of Ukraine

The Russian Embassy in the UK resides at 6/7 Kensington Palace Gardens. The intent of this request is for the government to consider changing the address of the Russian Embassy in the UK to 6/7 Gardens of the Heroes of Ukraine, requiring the Russians to acknowledge Ukrainian heroes in perpetuity.

More details

Changing the address of the Russian Embassy to the UK will send a clear message of support for the people of Ukraine in their struggle against Russian aggression. It follows the changing of addresses for Russian diplomatic properties in other European capitals in solidarity of feeling and intent.
