Are you “tea time” or “apéro”?

Even if we only are one hour apart, Londoners and Parisians have lot in common. Both cities are fast-paced, the weather is the same and the underground is equally crowded… But above all things and fortunately for me they like beer time as much as Parisians do.

However, as a good Frenchie, I have to underline one of the main differences for me: the cooking! No doubt I will survive but I miss French food already…

London Buildings

Havas London vs Havas Media Paris?

Havas Village Paris — This modern building is close to the business centre of La Défense. With more than 11 floors, every part of Havas France is #together. Paradoxically, I think people don’t speak enough to each other … The fear of losing themselves in corridors maybe?

Fortunately, the big cafeteria allows us to share good times at lunch without spending too much money.

Havas London — The building where the media agencies are is right in the centre of London, in Leicester Square. Other agencies of the group are in different locations, but all within walking distance from 60 Saint Martin’s Lane. The main advantage from my point of view is the human size of the office with each floor being a big open space. Nobody would be offended to hear music, radio or informal talks.

Every free breakfast time is a moment to share good times in the cafe.

Soon there will be a new Havas Village in London and I hope that the convivial touch won’t be lost…

The London adventure is just beginning!
