I don't think there's a much more appealing prospect than living in a mews house in London. Or at least having one you can visit.
What makes a mews house so appealing is that it is by definition quiet and secluded. It's like being on a little village street in the middle of a city. Certainly a mews suggests exclusivity without ostentation. I suppose most of them are in South Kensington, Belgravia, Notting Hill, and other desirable parts of town. And there can't be a more perfect place for a tryst.
Just try to describe a mews without using the words 'charming' and 'cobbled'.
Mews seems to figure in a lot of movies. In the last few months I've seen mews in the gangster movies I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (Clive Owen) and Layer Cake (Daniel Craig). In the 1989 movie Scandal, John hurt lives--and entertains--in a mews house.
Not terribly compelling?
Suppose you add children?
Okay, but try to resist calling this cobbled and charming.
