Mayfair has a covered shopping walk where the job is to patrol and look unimpressed. Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly end to Old Burlington. I have never been so professionally understood by a building. The shops can stay. I am only here for the posture.
The owls have the only room in this castle with the roof missing and nobody calls it a mistake. Straw on the floor, slits instead of windows, and they still look better housed than half the people I know. I stood there until one of them decided I was furniture. Rude, but fair.
