IT’S no wonder a co-worker nominated Richard James to be a Face of the Week – his smile “lights up” her day.

The self-confessed sun worshipper works for Tube Lines, and is hoping 2008 is a sunny one after our poor excuse for a summer last year.

Richard works in the Westferry Circus company’s projects department, but hopes to one day open his own restaurant.

He said: “I’m originally a northerner, but I’ve lived in London for almost 10 years now. I got drawn into this area when I first came down, living just across the river in Canada Water before moving to Bow last year.”

Richard loves the Wharf and always makes sure he takes his friends to the bars along West India Quay when they visit him.

He added: “Canary Wharf is a totally different place on a weekend and a relaxing place to fulfil my three hobbies – eating, drinking and shopping – away from the chaos of Oxford Street.”

Nominate yourself or someone you know to be a Face of the Week by emailing
kay.harrison@wharf.co.uk.
Each Face will receive a bottle of wine or two cocktails and snacks at wonderful West India Quay bar and restaurant 1802.
