But please do check it maybe it has changed, I did not pushed through with it cos I am taking holiday next month and worried my passport maybe be delayed if I applied.

I do live in central London, and the Emabassy is just right behind where I work, do you like me to check for you again?
yup.. you are correct... the consul called me a few weeks ago regarding my case and she told me that they do not do ammendments, but instead would require you to renew your passport...
