Discoveries in Canary Wharf

I just got back from a nice long trundle around Canary Wharf. It was nothing too unusual. However, I noticed two things that I think I ought to note. First of all, going through the mall, I came across a small Greek restaurant called Smashing Plates. That must surely be the wittiest name for a restaurant ever. It made me chuckle out loud when I saw it.

Secondly, I was even more astonished to find a wine shop selling alcohol free Leffe. My jaw dropped when I saw it. The whole point of Leffe is that it is strong, rich and potent: an alcohol free version is like crisps without salt, cannabis without THC or the Tories without greed, entitlement and arrogance.
