We had lunch at Quaglino's in nearby Mayfair (pictured here). Mayfair is the most expensive part of London. When I lived there, mostly Arab sheiks lived there, but now it's mostly occupied by hedge funds. Similarly, when I was living here, Quaglino's, an enormous restaurant with a very dramatic staircase and famous for its raw bar, was the talk of the town. But today for lunch, there were only two tables occupied in the whole place. One minor consolation is the other table was occupied by Alan Rickman (barely recognizable in the US, but a bona fide celebrity spotting in the UK) and the food was still reliably good.
