A Trip to the New Office, Paddington, London - 18th August 2016

SwiftKey's on the move since its acquisition by Microsoft, so Nosher and the gang from work decide to test out the extended commute to the new offices at 2 Kingdom Street in Paddington. The trip, which increases the Liverpool Street to office distance from about 1.5 miles to 6.5 miles is however generally quite nice, with parts along the new segregated cycle path on Embankment, up the Mall, past Buckingham Palace and across Hyde Park. However, it's a loooong way back with a headwind and a train to catch.
