Fun with Streetview

HIDE front entrance

I'm reading a story on Forbes and they mention a secret elevator for automobiles at a fancy restaurant (called HIDE) in London. Cool! Just the thing for a James Bond villain or maybe Bruce Wayne. So off to Google's Streetview to see what there is to see. Well, to start with, not much. Typical city street scene with traffic, pedestrians and boring store fronts. But then I go down the street towards the corner (because there are no car entrances on the main street, the entrance to the secret elevator is probably around the side) and boom! I'm in the middle of a Brexit protest.

Move ten feet further and the Brexit protest disappears. Go around the corner and there is a garage entrance, fully occupied with stuff and people working. Clever, those evil villains, disguising their secret entrance as storage locker.

Go a little further down this side street to see if there is anything else (there isn't), but when I try to head back the way I came, I can't. The street is blocked off by construction.

Dead end

So, not much substance to this post. I just thought it was curious the way that Brexit protest popped up in the middle of nothing, and then disappears like it was never there.
