title The Last Trip to the SwiftKey Office, Paddington, London - 23rd February 2022 intro It's the last couple of weeks working for Microsoft in Paddington, and there's a chance to actually visit the office for the first time in almost two years - and probably for the last time ever. There are actually enough people in the office to make up a group for a trip to Nando's in Bayswater, which Tehmur arranges as something of a send-off. There's then the cycle back to Liverpool Street Station for perhaps the last time, at least for this particular route. imgc0001 The bike's in its old spot at Diss Station imgc0002 The new trains mean waiting much further down imgc0003 Outside Liverpool Street has been all tidied up imgc0004 Old Broad Street has got some new bike lane thing imgc0005 The new bike lane meets Threadneedle Street imgc0006 Queen Street Place has been painted orange imgc0007 A million parked bikes on Queen Street Place imgc0009 Buildings at the end of Castle Baynard Street imgc0010 Nosher on the bike on Castle Baynard Street imgc0011 Queueing for the lights on Upper Thames Street imgc0012 Embankment Place and Charing Cross station imgc0013 Serpentine Road in Hyde Park imgc0014 The path up the east side of Hyde Park imgc0016 The Royal Lancaster and Westbourne Street imgc0017 Nosher's desk is working again imgc0018 Sindhuja, Ming and Praveen exit the barriers imgc0019 Funky lights in the lobby of 2 Kingdom Street imgc0020 James and Tehmur head off up Kingdom Street imgc0021 We head off up to Bishop's Bridge Road imgc0022 The Porchester pub imgc0023 Porchester Road in Bayswater imgc0024 The old Whiteley's shopping centre has been gutted imgc0026 Some of the gang in Bayswater Nando's imgc0027 In a Nando's cubicle imgc0028 An empty table at Nando's imgc0030 James has got the Extra Extra Hot sauce out imgc0031 Tehmur and James look up imgc0032 Nosher and the IME team massive imgc0033 Westbourne Grove imgc0034 Danfeng, Sindhuja, Vlad and James in Bayswater imgc0035 Danfeng strides past Flying Tiger in Bayswater imgc0036 There's an old sign for the National Bank imgc0037 A concrete mushroom under the Westway imgc0038 Cycling up Westbourne Terrace imgc0039 The lights at the top end of Westbourne Terrace imgc0040 A horse crosses Bayswater Road imgc0041 Back on Serpentine Road through Hyde Park imgc0042 On Queen Victoria Street, by One Poultry imgc0043 Threadneedle Street and the old NatWest Tower imgc0049 Back at Diss Station imgc0052 Diss station in the dusk
