Hi,

I can probably get off on a technicality, Mike. I don't think
Greenwich was in London in those days. <g> I remember t'days when all
this were fields...

I've found several references to literary types who sent letters in
the 1920s on notepaper from the Portland Hotel, London, W. But none of
them gives the street name or number. London, W means W1 I think,
which puts in the Gt. Portland St., Portland Place area.

The Guildhall Library is open on Saturdays and they have all the
London telephone directories going back to the year dot dot dash dash.
I'll have a look for it in there.
