context_page_description: This is a list of diplomatic missions of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, excluding honorary consulates. The UK has one of the largest global networks of diplomatic missions. UK diplomatic missions to capitals of other Commonwealth of Nations member countries are known as High Commissions. For three Commonwealth countries, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office still uses the term "Deputy High Commission" for Consulates-General, although this terminology is being phased out.
  In 2004, the FCO carried out a review of the deployment of its diplomatic missions, and subsequently over a two-year period closed its missions in Nassau, Asunción, Dili, Maseru, Mbabane, Antananarivo, Nuku'alofa, Tarawa, and Port Vila. Additionally several consulates and trade offices were also closed, including those in Fukuoka, Vientiane, Douala, Porto, along with Frankfurt, Leipzig, and Stuttgart in Germany, and Phoenix, San Juan, and Dallas in the United States. Other consulates in Australia, Germany, France, Spain, New Zealand, and the US were downgraded and staffed by local personnel only.
