That would mean that the turning circle at the Savoy Hotel would have

So? It wouldn't be the only private driveway in London where taxis
can't turn around.


Even if they can't get round in one go, they could presumably do a
three-point turn if necessary.


I'm reminded of the absurd scenes of US Secret Service-men struggling to
do a (circa) fifteen point turn with the Presidential limo in Britain's
most famous cul-de-sac, Downing Street.



Britain's most famous cul-de-sac? Brookside Close, Shirley?
