Photos:Costly $1m New American Embassy In London

                         The new high-tech Embassy will have a bomb-proof exterior and anti-ram barriers - which are just being built

These are the first photos of the world’s most expensive moat ever to be built, which it’s hoped will make the new US Embassy in London impenetrable to terrorists.The embassy, being built in the Nine Elms area of London, is already the world’s costliest embassy, costs have spiraled upwards of $1 billion built to withstand any type of attack.


   The new U.S. Embassy will be located on the southern bank of the Thames just east of the iconic Battersea Power station
  The 100 foot, half moon strip of water in front of the building is meant to be able to withstand any type of attack although US officials have euphemistically called it a ¿water feature¿
                       Unlike most glass office buildings, which appear slick and hard-edged, this one will look soft and pillowy thanks to the lightweight plastic scrims that will be attached to the facade like boat sails

 The exterior scrims will be embedded with photovoltaic cells that can convert sunlight into energy

 The new Embassy in Nine Elms, London, is set to open later this year at an unknown date. Its neighbours will include the disused Battersea Power Station
