After his death the local government of Tehran decided to rename the street that the British Embassy is on Bobby Sands Street, in honour of the Irish nationalist, and also for some cheap political point scoring against the British government. Winston Churchill Boulevard was the street that was renamed, where the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Tehran is located, to Bobby Sands Street.
In turn, the British Embassy had to make a side entrance on a side street their main entrance so as not to have Bobby Sands Street written on their letter heads and other correspondence. As such the Embassy's main entrance was moved to a side door on Ferdowsi Street.
