China is considering plans to open a new embassy where the Royal Mint once stood near the Tower of London, as it looks to strengthen its ties with the UK.

The embassy would be housed in a 600,000 sq ft campus, which would also include educational and cultural centres, according to the property trade magazine Estates Gazette.
