Summer 5: Canary Wharf and the Lehman Brothers Bank

During a turbulent couple of days in the world's financial markets, the global investment bank Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The bank's European 1 million square foot HQ at 25 Bank Street, Canary Wharf was open only for employees to collect personal belongings at the time of filming on the afternoon of Tuesday 16 September 2008. The camera takes a look through the windows of Lehman Brothers to see what is happening in their spacious contemporary foyer. This film also takes in the scenes throughout Canada Square including the newly built giant towers belonging to Barclays and Citigroup as well as the landmark 1 Canada Square tower. The camera also watches people milling around the square and walking to and from Canary Wharf underground station and the Docklands Light Railway station Heron Quays which is part of the Lehman Brothers building. Apologies for the delay between the last episode and this one - I caught horrid man-flu and also had some business engagements which got in the way (how dare they)!.
