Bridget Jones office


"So is living in London really like in Bridget Jones' diary Elise ?"

Well, since our recent office move to London Bridge, river side please, apart from the cigarette count...yep my folks. This is London executive life as you imagine it comfortably dipping your croissant into your coffee in Paris.
Food and coffeine to go on your doorstep, young attractive men in suits, Marks and Spencer packaged shiny lunch meal deals and the view on the Gherkin.


Luckily for me, I have managed to find a way of escape in Bermondsey. Never thought much of it to be honest, but going down that tunnel road under the 20 platforms of London Bridge (16 to be precise, platform 1 goes to Cannon street and platform 16 to North Dulwich, all the rest is bugger off to Kent !)was one big bright survival spark I had.

All you need to go is follow down Bermondsey street and a bit like the Channel tunnel the end of it means a complete different world (depending on which side you're travelling to that is). DYI architect studios, independent pubs, greasy off licences and even an ex Milan neighbour of mine selling proper Italian foccacie on Long Lane.
Pfew, I can sleep tight now, I've escaped big cororate world once more !

How does a Bridget Jones office look like then ?
Here we go.....
