    Poole and Knutsford are the main nerve centres for Barclay's investment banking operations now, the multiple offices at Canary Wharf are just a cunning diversionary tactic to foil a possible Al Quaeda attack. They have even kitted out the Knutsford Travel Tavern with gold taps for when Bob Diamond visits.

    If you've landed a job as a quant developer in Canary Wharf it means you are viewed as cannon fodder, a moron even.
