Not sure where to start as I not only lived there in 1998 but I also worked there, as a hustler, getting tourists to come book a night and we sometimes got busted by the police. We were young, living in a dorm for 8 and we didn't care, we've had so much fun, there's not enough room here to let you know about it all. Someone talked about Steve from NZ, that reminds me the night I saw him completely drunk trying to stop a car not far away from the hotel as we all came out from a pub that play traditional Irish folk music. Steve and other Aussies were great to hang with, that's even because of them I got an Aussie accent afterwards, that never really left me..I remember the beautiful Debbie too from New Zealand. I have probably crossed path with some of you here and I'm glad someone cares. Lots of things happened there, not everything was spice and sugar but it was great fun, I will never forget.

In the late 1940's early 1950's I worked for a firm - The Chartered Institute of Secretaries - who were located adjacent to this church. My office was on the semi/ ground floor that when one looked out the window you were looking at the headstones in the cemetery. That church and St. Paul's Cathedral were two of my favourite places in London. Lee.

We've stayed there several times in the early 1980's because of it's history as a U.S. Military Officer's Club and it continued to offer discounts for U.S. Military Officers. 2016 we are returning to London. The rates quoted to me were more than what the "cheap" hotel web sites are offering. despite referencing past stays and Officer status. I am very disappointed.

Actually, his body was not found there - it was found near Westminster Bridge. The spot where the commemorative plaque is, is close to where Sir Roy Watts lived. He was suffering from Parkinson's Disease. The coroner recorded an open verdict on how he ended up in the river.
