We've Moved

In mid-August we made a small move of about 8 blocks. The flat we rented on our arrival a bit more than a year ago was, as we've previously reported here, very nice -- in a brand new building and very modern. It had only one significant drawback -- it was located on the ground floor and, therefore, very noisy. Of course we knew it was on the ground floor when we rented it.

But our windows were right on a sidewalk -- with no space at all between the window and passersby. In addition, it turned out that the sidewalk was a fairly heavily-trafficked one. There was a casino across the street and we were only a short way off of Edgware Road, a major thoroughfare, which resulted in an awful lot of people passing right by our windows; and often quite late at night and after having had more than one or two drinks. It was most disconcerting to be awakened at 2:30 a.m. by a couple of drunks arguing just a few feet from our bed.

Our new flat is an older, much more typical, London building and is on the 2nd floor. In addition, the street is a much quieter one, even though the flat is actually more conveniently located, right near the major Baker Street underground station and many other businesses.

Our mailing address, the US Fleet Post Office (FPO) address, remains unchanged.
