Formerly the summer base for the British Embassy, established long before the urban sprawl enclosed it. The Embassy now functions year-round from the city centre compound in Ferdowsi Avenue; the Gholhak compound now contains Embassy accommodation. Sometimes described locally but tendentiously as "Gholhak Gardens".
