Overview
Australia House is a commercial building on Strand, London WC2.
King George V laid the building's first foundation stone in 1913 but it was not until August 1918 that he officially opened the completed building. The stringencies of World War I - principally shipping difficulties and labour shortages - had delayed construction considerably.
Australia House is on the UK statutory list of Government buildings as a Category II building.
