Belgravia SW1

Miss Kate Middleton, family, and friends will stay at The Goring hotel the night before the wedding. What an excellent choice! I wonder if they're booking every room? Belgravia's finest.



Of course, in the old days, we always stayed at the dearly departed Basil Street Hotel in Knightsbridge, close to a department store owned by a charming fellow called, something like, Dodious Fayed.

We suppose if we have to, there is always the Mandarin Oriental -




or, if needs must, even Mayfair.



No, not Claridge's. Too many celebrities.
