when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

Denmark, but it's *crown* princes that alternate. Crown Prince
Frederik's younger brother is Joachim, I believe; his *son* will be
Christian if they follow tradition.

?? As far as I know it's for cell phones. Do you consider that an
office product?

Yes, he did. :-)

I'm guessing you mean the classified ads.

Yes, although I believe they all have Frederick or Christian as a middle
name, "just in case".

Thanks! Knightsbridge is a much more precise answer, since Kensington and
Chelsea is the entire municipalicity.
Actually, I will have to admit that I don't know whether these City of
Westminster, Royal Borough of K&C, City of London etc has any administrative
importance today. Boris Whatshisname and before him Red Ken is mayor for the
entire Greater London. But at least these City/Borough is what you see on
the street signs in London.
