[QUOTE=quitecontrary;25953013]Has it moved

LOL - Certainly it hasn't moved but London has moved on - the area just does not seem as vital as it once did ....cities change and locations fall in and out of favor, the MO location has done just that, but that said - there is nothing wrong with it, just not as great a part of the city to stay in as it once was - for us walking around St James today gives us the feeling of walking through an upscale Kensington from 10 years ago - 10 years ago walking through St James was a bit boring....10 years ago walking through Holborn was bit odd and sometimes uncomfortable to say the least - now people stumble out the Rosewood and dash right to Soho and Covent Garden...who would even have thought anyone would stay where the Rosewood is now just a few years ago.....
