There is this discussion on it here...

But I think that the confusion ultimately stems from the fact that the road is privately owned and the police would be subject to the usual protocols of entering any privately owned property (i.e. check which masonic lodge the owner is a member of first).

The linked article is great. Love those WIki fact checkers. But what does this mean: "but presumably it is in a similar position to Burlington Arcade, which has its own beadles?". What the hell does "has its own beadles" mean.

I know, I digress. Where are we at the moment? Oh yeah, old bike...
