"Despite the economic gloom, Addison Lee is predicting that tonight, Thursday 13th December, will be a record-breaking night for Christmas parties in London.Based on a study of trends from recent years, the minicab firm has identified this evening as the time they will see their highest-ever number of daily account bookings, beating last year&amp;rsquo;s total of more than 18,000 account journeys, as more Londoners celebrate the festive season. Addison Lee&amp;rsquo;s analysis of corporate account holders&amp;rsquo; journeys also reveals that auditors are among the most likely professions to stay out into the small hours &amp;ndash; contradicting the straight-laced reputation often associated with the accounting industry &amp;ndash; whilst bankers are the most likely profession to bypass the festive celebrations altogether and take a car straight home from working late at 11pm.

Addison Lee&amp;rsquo;s MD Liam Griffin commented: 'December is always a busy and exciting time in London, but tonight and Friday are set to see a record-number of parties as Londoners enjoy their festive celebrations'.

With London&amp;rsquo;s largest fleet of premium minicabs we&amp;rsquo;re looking forward to transporting partygoers in style, safety and comfort, no matter what time of the day or night &amp;ndash; even if you live south of the river'.And the Best Place to Work in the global financial markets 2015 is..."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
