Name change because of possibly very recognisable location.
Live just off one of the most expensive areas in London. Houses between £20 and £40mil.
Go for walks daily.
There’s always a car with someone inside, outside of a specific house. The house is not on the road with the very expensive ones, just off it, so not an ambassador/Middle Eastern royalty one, more like a £5/6mil one.
Lots of private security guards around with high viz jackets and marked cars patrolling by car or on foot.
‘They’, instead, have normal cars with always someone inside looking utterly bored, checking phones, listening to music. Never outside of the car, not even in summer. So cars and people inside change, but car with person inside there day and night, always in front of this house.
From the outside, you can see that inside the house there’s a tv showing cctv camera feeds. It feels like the tv was positioned so as to make it clear to outsiders that there are plenty of cameras in and around the house.
And a man often sitting by the window facing the road in an office/library room. Neither the man nor the room look fancy, but also not a guard.
What’s the deal?
(I know it sounds like the beginning of a badly-written short story, but it’s all real, I’ve been discussing this with my husband and I just can’t understand what’s going on but I pass in front of it every day so it’s hard to not think about it)
