Hi, Running parallel to Portland Place is Great Portland Street. The office where I do my slaving is off Gt. Portland St. and there is a hotel there called "The Fitzrovia" which I suppose could be a candidate for the former Portland Hotel.
There are a great many hospitals in that area, on Gt. Portland St. as well as Portland Place. It's where the rich go for their nips, tucks, lifts, snips, pulls, tweaks, flayings, scrapings, pumpings, suctions and tweaks. To say nothing of the rest. A search of Google reveals no Portland Hotels at all in London, which is very surprising. If you don't mind me asking, Lasse, what is your interest in the hotel? Perhaps a little background could help us find it. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, May 01, 2002, 9:02:34 PM, you wrote: > Hi Lasse, > If you have a map of London, Portland Place starts from opposite Regent's > Park Underground Station (behind Park Crescent) and heads down towards > Regent Street and Oxford Circus.
