Lesley was extremely kind, and waited for me to pick the keys up quite a while beyond our agreed-upon time because I had gotten lost. She is renting an incredible, clean 10th-floor flat in a quiet neighborhood in Central London. There is one bedroom and an ample living room attached to the kitchen. It is around the corner from the Chancery Lane Tube Station, and 15 minutes away from the Strand, within 20 minutes' walking-distance to the Bloomsbury (British Museum, restaurants and cafes), and maybe half an hour to King's Cross (British Library, Harry Potter), Trafalgar Square (National Gallery, Lord Nelson) and Covent Garden/Piccadilly Circus (a headache).
