Walked round Mayfair this afternoon, with the weather teasing all the way about whether it was really going to start raining. It's one of those parts of London I've never visited, bordered by Picadilly, Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch and Oxford Circus I've managed to walk all around it but never into it. Didn't realise there was so much to see, Berkeley Square, Grosvenor Square with the blocked-off American embassy. It's quite sad really, concrete bollards, our police with guns,what should be this proud beacon to the world made tiny and imprisoned by their fear. Conversely a more anonymous building a few streets away said it was the Saudi Arabian embassy. It's just like this folded away little world.
