Storming a normal house to get someone who we're meant to arrest. It won't be storming the embassy nor will it be breaking any international conventions, nor would it be going onto another countries soil. It would be a normal process. However it would take months or years to go though the courts to complete such a process.

As the article I linked to above points out, 'storming the embassy' is far more dramatic than what the UK government said. People to think that government said 'we can go in and get him' when they actually said there is a law that allows them to start proceedings to revoke their embassy in London.
