The Telegraph article has muddled up a few things. One is that
although exempt from the writ of the Metropolitan Police.......it would
be, as it's in the City.

That'll be news to the London Borough of Camden, then, since they seem
to think that Ely Place is in their borough:

Anyway, for all that Ely Place is still exempt from the authority of
the City Corporation and therefore of the Lord Mayor.

I believe that most parts of the London Borough of Camden are similarly
exempt

The city boundary runs along Charterhouse Street - Ely place is just
north of it, in Camden (and therefore in the Metropolitan Police
District).
