SwiftKey's Last Days in Southwark and a Taxi Protest, London - 18th January 2017
It's the end of an era as SwiftKey moves out of its home for nearly five years - the famously low-key low-rise office block of 91-95 Southwark Bridge Road - and swaps vistas of the Shard and the City of London for the visual desert that is Paddington in West London. It's also a last chance to visit Pizza Pub - the Libertine on Great Suffolk Street, just the other side of Mint Street Park. Meanwhile, in the City, London black cabs are blockading the streets in and around Bank Junction in protest at plans to close the seven-way intersection to traffic.
