Myanmar's Ambassador to London, Kyaw Zwar Minn, was locked out of the embassy, describing the incident as "a kind of coup" in central London.
His deputy, Chit Win, along with the military attaché, seized control of the embassy on behalf of Myanmar's ruling military junta.
The ambassador had previously broken ranks with the junta by publicly calling for the release of detained civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, earning praise from the British foreign minister.
The diplomatic standoff unfolded with police present, as the ambassador engaged with Britain's foreign ministry regarding the situation.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
