| U.S. Plans to Move Embassy in London to Enhance Security |
| 2008-10-04 |
| The U.S. government plans to build a new embassy near the River Thames, moving from historic Grosvenor Square, which has been associated with the United States since shortly after the nation was born in 1776. |

| #6 The article, or at least the part of it I read (not terribly interested), just said "near the River Thames". That could mean anything from next door to the Tower of London to across from Windsor Castle, 30 miles upstream. OR they could be moving it closer to the Channel, where a carrier could pick up the staff without having to enter the river's mouth. |

| #4 If it's being moved to downtown London, it's probably not for the security of the embassy, but to secure London from the hordes. |

| #2 I'm actually surprised it's still going to be in downtown London. I'd have thought they would have wanted to move to the outskirts. |

| #1 Expecting bad times there are we ? Going to be fully armored with gun turrets ? Fully failsafe entry instead of just swinging doors ? |
