You can now turn right into Brook Street from New Bond Street and go through to Grosvenor Square. A word of warning though. As this is a new feature please be very aware that other motorists still think Brook Street is one way and you may find cars coming at you head on.
Claridges Taxi rank has been moved to outside the Ballroom and is now for four Taxis. Westminster council gave the ranks committee assurances that cars would not be parked in between the rank and the Hotel main door, but on the first day of operation, half a dozen cars have been parked there most of the time.
One of the reasons the rank was refused outside the Main entrance, is that the hotel objected, saying they didn't want the Taxis outside. This is also what happened at the Palm Beech casino in Berkeley Street, causing Taxis to double park when picking up, blocking the street.
It's been said that this new two way system is gearing up for the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street, but one of the main factors is that it's part of the cycle route...."The Grid"
You can now turn left and right from Book Street onto Davis Street southbound, traveling through to Berkeley square, and also (should you wish to) make a right turn into Grosvenor Street.
As part of the trade off from the removal of the four spaces in Davis Street (Brook Street corner), there is now a two cab rank outside the C London Restaurant in Davis Street -Although evening time I've been there over the last few nights, the rank has been blocked by cars.
