That would be High Street Kensington (where the McDonald's has a baby grand piano and crystal chandaliers, and Burger King had a Kobe burger on trial last summer for $100).

Post House went out of business a fair few years ago, and most of their locations were taken over either by Holiday Inn or Park Inn. Not sure about this one as I try to avoid Kensington like the plague.

I knew about the ravens...(they are my favorite birds) and I knew their wings were clipped....but, the one in your photo was SO very still....and it's feathers were SO shiny. It was such a beautiful bird...I wondered if it was real. LOL.
