12021-02-08T17:15:10+00:00Lorelei's London4plain2021-02-10T17:14:10+00:00As with New York City, the real locations mentioned as part of Lorelei's London are relatively confined to three adjacent neighborhoods: Westminster, Mayfair, and (barely) Soho. The only exception is a trip by car to see the Tower of London, which Lorelei finds unimpressive. However, Lorelei does go to multiple personal residences of fictional individuals in the novel. These are harder to locate but may have taken Lorelei out of her most familiar locales.
The revised text in the book edition of Blondes added one location in London that was not in the magazine: a cabaret called The Kit Kat Club. It replaces one of the references to the Café de Paris, although the café remains as a location in other passages of the chapter.
