I've worked in the City and Canary Wharf but I'm loving how different working in Mayfair is. Anyone else enjoying the location of their office's since we're back in the office everyday.

Mayfair is full of (oil) trust fund tossers in flash wheels. CW was bliss in comparison
I work around the Berkeley area and can 200% confirm. Many days when I get out of the office, that is all I can see
Haven't worked in Mayfair or CW but worked in both the east (e.g. UBS/DB/JEFF/RBC) and west (GS/BAML/Nomura/Moelis) ends of the City. Really love the east - the area around Liverpool St. has so many great lunch spots and it has a buzz similar to Manhattan. West part of the City (St. Paul's) is pretty dull.
City / Canary Wharf were both good for my commute; personally liked the west end though, felt more like a proper city.
Done CW and Mayfair/Marylebone, never the city. Definitely preferred Mayfair more although the sheer volume of tourists in the summer and Christmas do start to grind your gears a bit.
