title SwiftKey's Last Days in Southwark and a Taxi Protest, London - 18th January 2017 intro 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. imgc5222 We head off to Pizza Pub for the last time imgc5223 Leather sofas and real fire in The Libertine imgc5224 Inside Pizza Pub imgc5225 More fireside chat imgc5226 SwiftKey waits for pizza imgc5227 The Libertine bar imgc5228 The Libertine's lunchtime pizza imgc5230 The Libertine, as SwiftKey heads back imgc5231 Great Suffolk Street imgc5232 Walking out of Mint Street Park imgc5233 The SwiftKey offices imgc5234 The second floor office imgc5235 Tehmur sits back imgc5236 Nosher's end of the building on the second floor imgc5237 The Turing meeting room imgc5238 Simon sits by the empty employee photo gallery imgc5239 Turing's long meeting table imgc5240 Another meeting room called Bayes imgc5241 The former St. Saviour's Public Library imgc5243 St. Saviour's Public Library sign imgc5244 The corner of Union Street and SBR imgc5245 The shard over the houses of Union Street imgc5246 In the City, London taxi-cabs are protesting imgc5247 Queen Victoria Street is full of taxis imgc5248 The taxis have blockaded Bank Junction imgc5249 A protestor carries a placard imgc5250 Princes Street is also blocked imgc5251 More taxis on Cornhill imgc5252 More taxis block Threadneedle Street imgc5253 Looking back to Bank junction imgc5256 Isobel lays out some old baby-grows imgc5258 The sky is full of aircraft contrails imgc5269 Wind turbines in the frosty dawn light imgc5270 Nosher's bike propped up by the bike-shed imgc5271 The exit from Flat Iron Yard to the Island Café imgc5272 Flatiron Yard behind the office imgc5273 The Shard seen down an alley imgc5274 Hughes Electronics in Flat Iron Yard imgc5275 The buildings opposite the office imgc5276 Southwark Bridge Road near Clinks imgc5277 St. Paul's in the afternoon sun imgc5278 Blackfriar's Bridge from Southwark Bridge imgc5280 Waterfront buildings and St. Paul's imgc5281 The rozzers keep an eye on a line of taxis imgc5282 Taxis have blockaded Queen Victoria Street by Bloomberg
