Drapers Gardens is going for final demolition consent
There are demolition signs on the entrance doors too.
30 St Mary Axe has a strange funky window cleaning system, but it's not quite working yet
You can walk right round 30 SMA, but not in its own plaza- it's not quite finished yet
There's a Baltic Exchange bomb commemorative plaque, with flowers by it
Diego Maradona took a drug overdose, and Kevin Spacey got mugged (ES teasers, unteased by reading the actual headlines)
There's a new food chain called glö, who gave me a small sample of wasabi peas, which were very nice
The new Broadgate building is finished externally
You can't "game" MyCokeMusic's giveaway like you could the Pepsi iTunes promotion
DrDownload thinks a lack of DRM is a problem with my operating system, so I can't (easily) claim my free track anyway
So far, the best place I've found to buy pontefract cakes in London is just next to Spitafields Markets
The two new offices near Spitalfields are getting up to about 5th floor/ 7th floor respectively
The "retained units" look awful next to the shiny new buildings
I'm still not sure how much I like del.icio.us, but if I didn't spool, I'd definitely use it.
