Just got a walk in booster (30 yrs old, 2nd dose July) in Boots in Canary Wharf! They offer Moderna and happy to boost up those with Pfizer and AZ as first two. Hope this helps!
Is Canary Wharf “all business” or does it have entertainment, nightlife, shopping etc? Just curious..

Preamble:
Hi folks,
welcome back to the fan favourite, London's brilliant Canary Wharf Classic. Cool location, great (beer fuelled) crowds, and some BO3 excitement in the early rounds. Pity only there is still no women's draw. You might recall that the Canary Wharf was literally the last tournament pre-pandemic, with MES taking a famous win over Farag. I also remember Lobban beating Gawad in round two and Dessouky having to retire against Farag, at 1:1. How the times have changed, nowadays Lobban can't win a match and MES seems to get tired at times when in the past he would go into Beast mode. Farag, who became a dad in the mean time, is still pretty solid.
Anyway, this year's draw sees Farag as number one seed and he'll likely do battle with - and the British crowd might be in for either a shocker or a treat - Momen or Asal in the semis. Oh oh. In the bottom half Elias will be trying to follow-up his strong Qatar win but will have to overcome Wilstrop/Abou in round two, Gawad in the quarters and Coll/Makin in the semis. If he's on song that is doable.
Let's no get ahead of ourselves though and enjoy today's matches: Charlie Lee should be competitive against Baptiste Masotti, Wilstrop and Abou should be putting on a show and then we have Selby playing his last event. Up against feisty George Parker. Despite CoVid being far from over and Britain making some dubious decisions in its treatment, I am happy for the players (particularly the British) that they are back playing at one of the most iconic venues in front of a sell-out (hopefully) and appreciative Squash crowd.
As the British would say: Lads (and ladies), let's have a blast & enjoy your Squash!
Edit: Gawad has pulled out, Elias up to fourth seeding and Marche 8. Makes Elias draw easier since he plays whoever comes out of Wilstrop/Abou/Marche in the quarters.
Im looking at it as an option for a recut
