Anyway, if I remember correctly the protagonist gets sold out by a dodgy doctor he goes to in an effort to change his appearance. I think the description of the doctor's office places him somewhere near Ludlow's desk.

Good building, but not one to inspire a man back to health. More likely to appear in a Will Self novel. Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs more luxury flats. But with capitalism choking in the gutter, I predict one of those temporary brown-site car parks with aggressive wheel clampers and nick-to-order car thieves.

Mind you, now that the luxury development plan has no doubt fallen through, maybe they'll build something useful on the site. Like, you know, a hospital or something.

Old times; good times. The second hardest part of the evening was the crater where the Middlesex Hospital used to be. Last I heard they were going to convert it into luxury flats. Given the state of the economy I think they've given up on that one, but I thought the place was listed. The whole area looks - and feels - different without it. Tom got lost, I just got mournful. I never thought I'd miss London. Finnamofo, and it was the King & Queen. Old times; good times.
