Czech Republic–United Kingdom relations

British–Czech are foreign relations between the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. The Czech Republic has an embassy in London and 3 honorary consulates (in Cardiff, Edinburgh and Newtownards). The United Kingdom has an embassy in Prague.

HM Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom paid a state visit to the Czech Republic in March 1996.^[1]

Although there was the Cold War, the Czech Republic and the UK have good relations. Both nations fought together in both world wars. There were more than 500 Czech pilots who were members of the Royal Air Force during the World War II. The Munich Agreement in 1938, signed by British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, is still mentioned sometimes, but it is considered to be an expired chapter of Czech - British relations already.

“	Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonour. They chose the dishonour, they will have the war.	”
—Winston Churchill on the Munich Agreement
