The United States will be relocating its London embassy by 2017 from fashionable Mayfair to a gritty district on the south bank of the River Thames. Presumably this is done for security reasons. A prominent Londoner was quoted "It seems that the U.S. Embassy is relocating from a beautiful historic square in Mayfair to a fortified bunker in former rail yards on the far side of the river. It's like moving from New York's Upper East Side to New Jersey." OUCH! I write this from sunny Cape May, New Jersey the envy of many upper East Siders.
