    Some stunning women in All Bar One (and everywhere else around here for that matter). I enjoy working here anyway! Roll on summer, sitting outside for my overpriced beer.

    Davy's Pub does Davy's Old Wallop and some OK pub grub. Gets noisy though. That's the only place I've drunk/eaten at Canary Wharf while meeting a mate who works opposite in the big building.

    OK, now I have Googled it. They must be VERY old maps - Pre 1290 - if the Beeb are to be believed.

    I think Charing Cross is where they measure the distance other places are from London, and it would be a pain in the arse to have to re-calculate distances everytime the geographic centre of London moved.

    Surely the centre keeps moving as new developments on the edge spring up?
