Docklands. Anyone there?

No way it can even compare to the City of London, which is so pictoresque and even its ugly sides turn to have a certain degree of character which makes it unique.

Seconded.

What is symptomatic of the sadness of CW can probably be noticed when everybody rush to the stairs to get up and be the first at work; .

Are you kidding?? when I worked in CW, no one knew where the stairs were... I think no one was allowed to use the stairs unless there is a fire, it was soooo annoying having to take the lift for one floor only.

Seconded.

Thirded. The City is a fascinating place, the original site of Roman Londinium and steeped in history.

Apologies for the confusion. I meant the escalators in the underground station. I have noticed that this only happens in Canary Wharf. When the trains' doors open, many people rush to the escalator engulfing the way out for everybody.

Don't look up for too long though or your wallet will be gone. BTW SAS one can only conclude you are welsh, I've never met someone so obssessed with London, most people have had enough of it after a couple of years, you should get a job with the tourist board.

Canary Wharf is the ugliest place I have ever worked.

I'm a Londoner born and bred (no Welsh roots). You clearly have never been to the City (I mean the Square Mile) as it's not noted for its crime. The City of London police are probably the best in London - I know they get paid more.

I'd rent a flat in Maritime Greenwich and work in CW - agree that there's loads of choice re restaurants/bars but they're all plastic places devoid of soul, agree that most ppl are armani suited t*ssers, but grab the money and enjoy the cafes/bars of Greenwich just a short DLR ride away.

5 min lunch break??? Takes that long just to get out of the buildings!
