Australian House (in person)
Can anyone tell me if you can visit Australian House in London.
We will be in London and have a query about our visa, so we thought as we will be there it would be easier to see someone in person.
So if anyone can let me know at what address ? time? (if any).
Thank you

Re: Australian House (in person)
I've only been there for passport renewals and not aware of them taking queries. The people working there accept applications and can put visas in passports. Not sure they can answer queries that are specific to your visa and they are likely to answer most questions with 'check the website' for anything general.
Not been there since 2004 but from memory you have to get there at 9, take a ticket and wait and whilst the doors close at 11, you could be waiting a lot longer.
