I always think Farringdon and Liverpool St areas seem fun when visiting friends. My best yet is Victoria St/ St James' Park I think. A nice mixture of offices, eccentrics, aristocrats and tramps- Scotland Yard for safety and the parks for when it all got too much!<br /><br />Hi Tania- ooh thanks, I do love a Boden product! and I like to support Whittards. Still I fear there is something quite addictive about the cardboard take away cup in the morning. Do I just buy into the marketing that makes me feel special if I have a take away coffee? yes probably.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-4284954083008720262009-09-07T20:39:35.164+01:002009-09-07T20:39:35.164+01:00Rose,

Or possibly Debenhams. ;-) Whatever, it's very handy, and has pretty much paid for itself already. I don't need to go to coffee shops any more (which keeps me away from the temptation of muffins and chocolate croissants, too - win/win!) All I do is pick out a nice ground coffee, and I'm set for a week or two.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-22645077145674106682009-09-07T10:13:25.137+01:002009-09-07T10:13:25.137+01:00I've worked in and around London Fields, Oxfor...I've worked in and around London Fields, Oxford St, Notting Hill, London Bridge, High St Kensington and am now enjoying the pleasures of Harrow. Everywhere I have worked has ups and downs - the worst was probably Notting Hill as it was tricky to get to the office and had too many expensive temptations everywhere. The best is probably, and surprisingly, where I am now - I would never have thought that until I took this job, either!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-46123070941663731592009-09-06T22:33:45.295+01:002009-09-06T22:33:45.295+01:00Hi Daily- it's true, that feeling is priceless...Hi Daily- it's true, that feeling is priceless.<br /><br />Hi Tania- I will need to investigate the coffee thingy from Whittards it sounds excellent. I moan about the fact there are so many coffee chain shops everywhere but then I moan when there isn't one near work- I should make my mind up!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-31503777854390855742009-09-04T19:32:31.590+01:002009-09-04T19:32:31.590+01:00I know what you mean. I've worked central, and...I know what you mean. I've worked central, and not, and somewhere in between. Now I'm 'in-between', which means that I can't shop for anything much because I only get a half-hour lunch break, and the shops are too far. But I shop on the net instead, so I still spend too much!<br />The good parts are: less of a commute, not having to use the tube at all, and a bracing 15-minute walk twice a day. Bad: if I want a decent lunch I have to pack it myself, there's really nowhere to go at lunchtime. <br />As for coffee, I have bought a one-cup coffee-filter thingie from Whittards. If I buy coffee at the station, it's nearly cold by the time I've done that 15-minute walk to the office! ;-)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-55082571688423349852009-09-04T18:18:08.559+01:002009-09-04T18:18:08.559+01:00It sounds like the good things far out weigh the b...It sounds like the good things far out weigh the bad... getting that feeling walking across the Thames is something all of us are envious of! xoThe Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.com
