Then it is loaded and re-checked before we pack up around Green Park (Piccadilly, Victoria, Jubilee). An open-plan wall carrying the TV, the router and the speakers across SW1, with 46% one-person households here — and this being Westminster City Council territory, so the cable route is set out before the first hole — so the set-out is done against the features your eye actually compares the shelf to.

The same fault, repeatedly: fixings that stop in the plasterboard skin with a 25mm void behind it in St James's — and 5% of St James's homes being houses, with St James's Palace a few streets away, so the shelf pulls the board off the dabs.
