Essential Information - Embassies

It's important to realise what your own embassy can and cannot do to help you if you get into trouble. Generally, it won't be much help if the trouble you're in is remotely your own fault. Remember that while in London you are bound by British law. In genuine emergencies you might get some assistance, but only if other channels have been exhausted.
