so, why london? why is london where it is at? it is a brilliant place to work. it is a brilliant place to live. and from a tech perspective, the access to that pool of very talented people is awesome. and, frankly, at the end of the day, especially in central london, to be able to step out into a world capital that has everything you could want within a few miles' radius isjust... there isn't anywhere else in the world quite like that so for me it is the place to be. brexit is on the horizon but london is still moving. from tech and money giants to the city's monumental infrastructure. giants to the city's the tube. giants to the city's the oldest underground railway network in the world. it was an unprecedented engineering masterpiece in the 19th century, and it still is today, as it expands to meet the demands of a growing population. so, welcome to tottenham court road's eastbound platform, the only curved platform on the whole of the elizabeth line. and why is it curved? i love this curved platform. the reason it is curved is because it has to avoid the pile
