The LDA was Established in 1964 by Diplomats for Diplomats
The aim of the London Diplomatic Association (LDA) is to create a conducive environment where diplomats can interact with each other in the UK and globally, and where businesses can develop their relationships, promoting their products and services to the diplomatic community worldwide.
We endeavour to assist Governments and their Embassies to develop an economic, social and cultural exchange with the business community globally.
Accredited diplomats in the UK can become members of the LDA for an annual subscription of £100. This includes 1st, 2nd and 3rd secretaries, and all attachés. All Ambassadors and High Commissioners are honorary members. Diplomatic PA`s and all secretarial staff within an embassy or high commission can also join.
Other diplomatic organisations around the world can also be affiliate members.
If you are a diplomat resident in the UK and would like to be considered for diplomatic membership of the LDA please click here or contact: Arabella Fortesque Humphreys, email: arabella@londondiplomaticassoc.com Tel: 07467 967306
