Wouldn't it be more accurate to call it the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland?
There is no British embassy in Northern Ireland, however there is a british Embassy in Southern Ireland located at:
It is called the British Embassy In Ireland
British Embassy, Dublin, Ireland
British Embassy
29 Merrion Road
Ballsbridge
Dublin 4
It is also called in other countries such as the United States of America - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Embassy but most people use the short form 'British Embassy', which can be found at 3100 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington DC 20008
Telephone: (202) 588-6500
Fax: (202) 588-7870
Citizens from the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) now commonly called the United Kingdom are deemed to be UK citizens.
If further clarity is required I would suggest contacting the Foreign and Commonwealth Office whose remit covers British Embassies worldwide at:
FCO London
FCO
King Charles Street
London SW1A 2AH
Telephone: 44 (0)20 7008 1500
