Here's another thought: if you had a letterbox on both sides, could

I take it you know about Baarle-Nassau?

Oh yes. Surely everybody knows about Baarle-Nassau?

I've just noticed that the Westbury Hotel gives its address as
The Westbury Hotel
Bond Street,
Mayfair,
London, W1S 2YF

I was aware that estate agents have grown Hampstead and Cla'am to cover
all London between them, but I was surprised to find that merely
sounding like it might be a prestigious address is enough to summon
"Bond Street" into existence.

The only question is whether it's the Bond Street in Ealing or the one in
Stratford!
