Will they no longer keep restricted items at the guard station outside the embassy? It's a couple of years since last time I was there.

In Stockholm they say they won't hold stuff in the instructions, but if you do have something that you can't enter with, they will. I guess they just don't want to be inundated with stuff.

I don't know about U.S. embassy in London, but in St Petersburg (Russia) they kept your items in a numbered box at the entrance. That was about 3 months ago.

There is a nearby private storage facility they point you to. It's expensive. Good business for who-ever owns it.
