You can just see from this photograph taken yesterday that the boilers are still working at Canary Wharf and that public transport – the brightly-lit train running across the bottom of the picture – is still functioning more or less (“functioning more or less”  being as good as it got even in the boom years).

You can read this how you like really – that the City looks much as it always did despite everything, or that this is an echo of that famous photograph of  St Paul’s in the Blitz, or that London is a harsh, grey shadow of its former self. It feels pretty busy to me.
