Summer day out!

So after a busy and exciting few months at The Yard working on 6 brilliant units in Westfield Stratford City we rewarded ourselves with a, slightly late, summer day out!

After a full English on Northcote Road everyone suited up F1 style and took to the race track at Surbiton Raceway for a bit of healthy team competition. Not naming any names but at one point a certain racer (J.E) tried to run a fellow racer off the track (E.D)...luckily the driver in question managed to recover the situation with some excellent maneuvers. Various other incidents occurred with Tesh running head first into the wall of tyres, Caz spinning out several times, and Steve overtaking, at lot.

No need to mention who won, it's not about the winning it's about the taking part..

After heading back to the office in Clapham we toasted the race with a glass of Courvoisier (as you do), put on our glad rags and headed to town. Taking a stroll from Waterloo we stopped for a moment to take in David Chipperfields 'Two Lines' sculpture before popping to the The Trafalgar roof garden as the sun set across town.

This was followed by a bite to eat in Leon before heading to Barrio Central for happy hour and plenty more toasting. The 'DJ' was hit and miss but by that point we didn't seem to mind, one of the team even 'attempted' the moon walk much to the dismay of the surrounding party goers.

I'll leave it there before I say too much but all in all it was a great day, well deserved and now we're on the hunt for our next monster shopping centre! Milan... Sao Paulo...who knows?!
