British High Commission in St John's

St John's hosts Britain's diplomatic mission to Antigua and Barbuda where Caribbean cruise ships dock at Heritage Quay bringing thousands of British tourists to pristine beaches and historic Nelson's Dockyard. The High Commission serves as regional hub covering six Eastern Caribbean nations—Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines—coordinating British interests across islands where Commonwealth heritage remains strong and thousands of UK citizens own vacation properties or retire to enjoy year-round sunshine. British travelers dominate Caribbean tourism to these islands, flooding all-inclusive resorts, sailing regattas at English Harbour, and beaches at Jolly Harbour and Dickenson Bay. The mission facilitates British business interests in Caribbean hospitality sector, supports UK citizens purchasing real estate through citizenship-by-investment programs popular with wealthy British families, and coordinates development assistance for climate resilience and hurricane recovery. While this office focuses on diplomatic representation and development work, consular services including emergency assistance, passport renewals, and notarial services are provided by British High Commission Bridgetown in Barbados serving all Eastern Caribbean British nationals and travelers.
