Ebert on Jermyn Street
Mar. 6th, 2010 09:17 amA wonderful blog post by Robert Roger Ebert looking back on his times liviing on Jermyn Street (also proof that you can have a sensible and intelligent set of blog comments, even in this day and age.) Prompted by news of the closure of 22 Jermyn Street, the eccentric hotel he regularly stayed in, now being demolished for yet another 2012 regeneration project.
Jermyn St is in the heart of one of those parts of London I am very fond of. St James, and its surrounds, is a little microcosm of how I used to imagine London was when I was small, all ornate little specialist shops. It's a shame to hear of more redevelopment; I suspect the external shells will remain, but it's not just outward appearances that make a locale.
