Sri Lanka is one of a number of countries bidding to host the next summit, a British government sorce said.
"The Prime Minister (Gordon Brown) has real concerns about Sri Lanka's bid. We simply cannot be in a position where Sri Lanka, whose actions earlier this year had a huge impact on civilians," source said speaking on condition of anonymity.
"The Prime Minister will talk to other leaders about this, but is clear this won't wash," the source said.
Britain had criticised the conduct of the war earlier this year and remains concerned about the situation of about 130,000 displaced people in camps in Sri Lanka.
