T. Rowe Price's headquarters outside the US is based here. We moved to our new office a couple of years ago, just 85 metres from St. Paul's Cathedral, one of London's iconic landmarks. If you fancy escaping the Swiss heatwave for London’s, the city has plenty to offer. My top recommendation for visitors is to walk along the Thames from the Tower of London to the Palace of Westminster, where Big Ben chimes to mark the time for the seventh prime minister in a decade. Beyond that, London has fantastic food, museums, and entertainment. Whether you grab a salt beef bagel on Brick Lane, lose an afternoon in the British Museum, or watch the avatars of ABBA in a «live» show, the city has something for everyone.
What I like about Switzerland
If you stay home in Switzerland for the summer, I cannot blame you. There is much to like: the beautiful outdoors, the punctual people and trains, and the way the country makes complicated things a little easier. I remember visiting more than two decades ago and being struck by the absence of plastic bags in supermarkets and the seriousness with which recycling was taken, years before either caught on elsewhere. Switzerland was ahead of its time and still leaves the rest of us looking faintly disorganised.
