From my office in Canary Wharf, I can walk over to the Thames by wandering down the stairs at Westferry Circus. I've always wondered about the folks going out for a jog at lunch, and it most likely turns out that they're heading to this spot where there's a path all along the riverside. In the satellite view, you can see a pier jutting into the river, and that's where the Thames Clipper (like a water taxi) comes and goes, carrying commuters from stops like Waterloo. Canary Wharf has an energy that reminds me of my days working in Midtown Manhattan - everyone's busy, everyone's commuting in, everyone's got a job to do and a place to be. On a recent morning, I had a few extra minutes before a meeting at a coffee shop near Westferry Circus, so I walked down the steps to check out the view of The City in the distance. It's been about a month since we've moved and on one hand, it feels like we've been here for ages, but on the other hand, it's still got the vibrant excitement of newness.
