In January 2026, Britain approved plans for the largest Chinese embassy in Europe; a 5.4-acre fortress opposite the Tower of London with 208 underground rooms and a concealed chamber sitting one metre from critical financial data cables. Beijing refused to explain the redacted blueprints. Britain said yes anyway. This episode asks the question intelligence analysts are asking: what exactly are they building down there, and why are Britain's leaders so willing to cave in to Chinese pressure?
