For the first time ever, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in Whitehall, central London, erected a sukkah.

The Foreign Office sukkah

 A joint project of the Board of Deputies and JNet, a cross-government network of 350 Jewish and other civil servants, the sukkah hosted an event on the first day of Chol Hamoed, attended by civil servants and diplomats. HM Treasury also had a sukkah this year.
