As Barack Obama pays a visit to London this week, here’s a look at his time in the city over the years.
The former US president is currently in the capital as part of work with his Obama Foundation and on Monday (March 18) he squeezed in a visit with prime minister Rishi Sunak at Number 10.
Obama is no stranger to London, having stopped by the capital for a visit many times during his presidency and since.
Of course, Downing Street and Buckingham Palace are some of his most visited places in London, but he has been to a few other places in the city for engagements including the Globe theatre.
