Best and worst area to work in the City

Liverpool Street - eastside crossing that massive f off road to get to Latham, FBD, K&E, that area. The abyss of nothingness.

Liverpool Street - westside round Spitalfields, around A&O, Ashurst and Akin - the market and grimy East London, Brick Lane

St Paul's, Bank area - Eversheds, Dechert, Travers, Goodwin, close to the river to walk over to the Tate Modern, south of the river generally, not a million miles away from Holborn

West End - ???

 

This is unfair. This thread has potential. Proximity to Pret, sandwich shops and public transport is basically 99% of the differential in working environments.

Waterloo or Marylebone for nice places I would say.

Not sure city Thameslink stops at any decent places site does it? Wimbledon I suppose but who would use that means?

 

Welcome bag Biggie, how are you feeling today ? What did you make of this years list QC appointments? So many in their 30s, with a couple getting the nod at just 12 years call.

what an achievement eh ?

West end is full of posh public school boys who don't wear socks 

The city is full of posh public school boys who don't wear socks 

Hey! Wait a minute.

WHY DO POSH SCHOOLS NOT TEACH HOW TO PUT SOCKS ON

Liverpool St area is good as it has some real edgelands to the east, north and north west of it as well as quite a lot of good places to eat and drink, And now great connections via the Lizzie Line,

The quarter bordering commercial street south of Spitalfields/ Bishops Square is now full of good and reasonably priced cafes, coffee shops, barbers and so on.

Ive always thought the area around Middlesex St and zhawrrow Place was one of the places where the City’s borders were starkest. The cool and formal, marble-clad east face of the plush Devonshire Square office development faces hard onto a council estate and gritty street markets.

Mike Tyson doesn't either 

Says it puts him in warrior mode 

But then he also appears bare chested for the full look

 

 

WC2/Holborn/Fleet Street,EC4, St Pauls. They make my commute ridiculously easier, one train, then a ten minute walk at worst. Those are not the reasons why I think they are the best though.

I’d say best are the north end of bishopsgate, bordering shoreditch (and what laz said about Middlesex street) and the Clerkenwell/Farringdon area

Worst are a 5 min walk radius around Bank and anywhere west of Holborn.

 

 

Thameslink stops at West Hampstead - as well as NW6 itself, it is an easy stroll to the station from Hampstead or St John’s Wood. Also Harpenden & St Albans.
