context_page_description: Royal Mint Court is a property on Little Tower Hill in Tower Hill and is in London's East End, close to the City of London financial district.
  The site was the home of the Royal Mint from 1809 until 1967 and was earlier the site of a Cistercian abbey, built in 1348 and known in its time as Eastminster. Eastminster's foundations are relatively well preserved and visible in the partially open basement of the site.
  After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the 5.5 acre property was used as a victualling yard for the Royal Navy, then as a tobacco warehouse, before becoming a mint in 1809. After the mint relocated, the site was redeveloped with a new office and residential block added to the complex alongside the two remaining Grade II listed mint buildings.
  In 2017, Royal Mint Court was again set to be redeveloped with plans for a new office, shopping and leisure complex. Planning permission was granted in July 2016. However in May 2018 the site was sold to the People's Republic of China to be used for their new London embassy.
