London Life

The Finch
So i have been at the Finch (East Finchley Flat) since arriving in London, but have in the last week or so settled off the lounge and into a room. Its a great flat about a 2 minute walk from the tube and 30 seconds less to the pub. Lisa (Canadian) has made way for her fellow countryman Adam and the aussie mechanic, Trev made way for myself. All in all a very cool flat in a super location.

Work
So I have almost completed my first week at Esmee Fairbairn Foundation (Website). Its a wonderful foundation that puts millions of pounds into such a diversified range of causes. Its an amazing company considering it now has a investment portfolio of almost a billion pounds which all started 50 years ago around a kitchen table brainstorming cuppa tea. I have come in on a contract role to assist in the completion of several projects within the finance department. The offices are only 6 tube stops from the finch which translates to about 30 minutes traveling which is very good for London. A couple competitors back in Perth will be disappointed to see a ping pong table in the video below. Have already found form on the new surface and will be well scoped when i return hacks (you know who you are).


Pics on Flickr also.
So all in all very lucky with the current setup in little old London town. MAH

  1. G,day Mark the flat looks very comfortable even if 'London' small. Work also looks great and a pretty sharp place. What is the body of water near the office? M & D.
