NOT a great deal of licence would be required to rename the stretch of Knightsbridge that runs from Constitution Hill to Knightsbridge Barracks Hotel Alley. On the Wellington Arch roundabout, we have The Four Seasons, The Peninsula and The Lanesborough; heading west, The Wellesley, The Berkeley, The Park Tower, The Mandarin Oriental and the Bulgari. Apologies if I have missed any.
Inevitably, such propinquity has led to fiercely competitive pricing that has pushed rates⊠upwards. The Peninsula, which opened late last year, felt that a shade over £1,300 a night was a fair starting point. However, six months is a very long time in the world of hotel-keeping and, this summer, a newcomer has shouldered its way to the front. The Emory will relieve you of a minimum £2,040 for one nightâs stay.

Save our family farms
IT Tremains to be seen whether the Government will listen to the more than 20,000 farming people who thronged Whitehall in central London on November 19 to protest against changes to inheritance tax that could destroy countless family farms, but the impact of the good-hearted, sombre crowds was immediate and positive.

Best of British
In this collection of short (5,000-6,000-word) pen portraits, writes the author, 'I wanted to present a number of \"Great British Commanders\" as individuals; not because I am a devotee of the \"great man, or woman, school of history\", but simply because the task is interesting.' It is, and so are Michael Clarke's choices.

Tarrying in the mulberry shade
On a visit to the Gainsborough Museum in Sudbury, Suffolk, in August, I lost my husband for half an hour and began to get nervous. Fortunately, an attendant had spotted him vanishing under the cloak of the old mulberry tree in the garden.
