What more do you want? It's even the suite/apt. number there ;-)
Sorry, its the mail box. You may note that Veropedia's address is identical, #354, i.e.,one box below.
You wouldn't believe the number of visitors we had who showed up at the mailbox ...

Am I missing something? Is this the Wikimedia Foundation or MI5 I've stumbled upon?

Well, maybe just consider that this is an internet organization, and the most obvious way to reach them is not really by visiting them... So 1/ there is no need, and 2/ it only brings potential threats of people who want to show off in the hope they get removed from wikipedia (and I know of a few people who might be bold enough to try to intimidate like that). Don't take risks if you don't have to.

There may be no pressing need, but Wikimedia is an international organisation and the Foundation is of course a 501(c)(3) legally-registered charitable company and it just seems a little odd to be secretive.

Not to mention it makes it harder for those pesky people who want to inspect public documents or serve process on the WMF.
you have a mailing address. And if you want to visit, you could of course just behave like a polite person, and make an appointment :) I am sure they will tell you then where they are located. Not putting everything on the web doesn't mean it is a state secret or something :) My home address is not on the internet either, but if you would ask nicely and have a good reason to visit me, no problem, you can get it.
