The office of United States Ambassador (or Minister) to the United Kingdom (known formally as Ambassador to the Court of St. James's) was traditionally the most prestigious position in the United States Foreign Service, and has been held by various notable politicians, including five future presidents: John Adams, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren and James Buchanan. Other prominent politicians to have held the ambassadorship include Rufus King, Richard Rush, Edward Everett, Charles Francis Adams, Sr., Robert T. Lincoln, John W. Davis, Joseph P. Kennedy, Averell Harriman, and Elliot Richardson.

The Ambassador works at the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square, London, and lives at Winfield House in Regent's Park.
