This chapter examines the experiences of the United Kingdom in hosting, tracing, and returning the proceeds of grand corruption from abroad. Public top-level political commitment to the anti-kleptocracy norm has translated into only very partial policy effectiveness. The British government then took a close interest in the issue of asset recovery subsequently at home and in multilateral settings. It instituted a program that may serve as something of a model for other countries to follow, whereby development aid money is used to track down looted assets in London. The chapter explains that a sincere normative commitment by successive prime ministers to development-related campaigns against international corruption has led to important and innovative policies to track foreign kleptocrats' wealth in Britain.
