Soho, great vibe and food spots. Only drawback is tourist crowds

Well, this really depends…
Qs to help:
- what vibe do you want? Formal, traditional/relaxed, arty/start up/other etc.?
- what’s your average age range?
- what’s your office culture - wfh forever or office all the time?
- where are your clients? Will they visit your office?
- do you need fast airport access?
- where are your people commuting from?
- what are your growth plans?
- what’s your budget?

Thanks very much all. Interesting to see how there is no real consensus

London Bridge due to the train and tube links

Oxford Circus or Embankment

Just north or south of Oxford Street - easy to get to and a lot of stuff to do in the surrounding areas.

London Bridge, Vauxhall, Waterloo

Not a lot of offices around here but lots of new buildings coming up some of which have office space, so could maybe get some good deals. Can go for nice walks and good food spots around too for lunches. Easy transport links to get around London (Vauxhall station, nine elms station, Vauxhall bus station and you could even take the boat from Vauxhall pier!)

Chancery Ln area is decent: thameslink, central line, district line, H&C line, (Piccadilly line). Equidistant between soho and City - nice views of City.

But if I had unlimited money I’d probably choose Mayfair - lot of tossers there though…

Def not London Bridge lol

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
