[Vwoolf] The Boltons

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Remember those two upper-middle-class ladies on the bus in KM’s 
“TWO TUPPENNY ONES, PLEASE”
http://www.katherinemansfieldsociety.org/assets/KM-Stories/TWO-TUPPENNY-ONES-PLEASE1917.pdf

They’re going to the Boltons.

I see from one of the free London papers (“Metro”, property sec., p. 2, 14 July 2015) that the Boltons is currently the second most expensive street in the UK (after Kensington Palace Gdns*): “typical homes costing £30,288,586, where a 9-bed detached house sold for £51m in April.

London’s other £10m streets include [Mrs] Manresa Road, Chelsea.

*Where Thackeray’s house is – sadly, now the Israeli Embassy – just try getting close (watch the policeman approach), and, as for taking a photo, you want to spend a night (or longer) in gaol?
