In clients London office now.
Chap I came to meet is not in
Staying at the Best Western Victoria Palace. Not sure what it's like, best I could do at short notice.
Hotels near Westminster/St James seem to be booked solid this week
On the plus side, Gillette were giving away free samples at paddington and the pretty young lady gave me a shed load. probably because everybody was walking past her
