At the Ned London, now a hotel and restaurants and formerly the HQ of Midland Bank, a building designed by Edward Lutyens, and I have to say its a fantastic success. My original purpose of staying here was to be close to the IDRC where we were due to enter the fray in a large arbitration, but that settled on the eve of the hearing so now I am using some pre-paid hotel time to meet up with and thank members of our litigation team for their hard work.
