Strand is an interesting London thoroughfare. At one end is Trafalgar Square, at the other is the gateway to the City. Several theatres are to be found here, such as the Lyceum (see the Lion King!), the Adelphi (see Chicago!) and the Vaudeville (see, er, Stomp). the Savoy theatre too is here, first place in the UK to use electric lighting. It is next to the Savoy Hotel, the little road leading into which is the only one in Britain where you must drive on the right hand side of the street - or the wrong-hand side as we call it...
The Savoy has no room 13 - it is bad luck. In fact if you had a meal at the Savoy's restaurant and booked for thirteen people they would give you a table with fourteen seats. I kid you not. In the fourteenth seat they place a little wooden cat called Caspar.
