On the Yahoo home page about the apartment for sale in London.
Basically a 7x11foot room for sale for 355 thousand dollars. Unbelievable. I know space is scares in London. but WOW.

I would post the link, but I don't know how. I did try.

It is ridiculous, but Knightsbridge is the most expensive shopping district in the world almost. Very nice place to stay, if you can afford the room rates.

We stay in a hotel that is across from Hyde Park usually. Just a block and a half from Harrod's department store. That is a place like no other.... everything, literally, in one place.

Thanks Howard, I knew one of you really smart people could get that here.
Yea, that is crazy expensive there, but still. The room doesn't even have a bathroom.
For 355K I want a private bath.

Private bathroom?!? LOLOLOL

In that area, and alot of Eurpoe for that matter, hotels have shared showers, unless you pay a bit extra for a room with your own shower.

But yeah, for that kind of money, I'd be looking for a shower too! I would not live in that part of London anyhow.. it is so easy to get around on the tube, you could live anywhere and not need a car.

Why pay those prices? I'd just move to the outskirts...

I got kicked out of Harrods when I was 16 for not being dressed properly for store.

My first time there, we were in the Pub in the basement, half way around the world from SoCal, where I lived at the time.

Having a bite to eat and drink with the wife, and who should walk in?!? My union steward from my work (Boeing- was union guy at the time)!!!

How in the heck does that happen?

Brad, how were you dressed that they threw you out dude? I wasn't in anything special...
