It's a great venue for a party with the lovely terrace outside the Florence Hall. The staff were very welcoming.

Great place to meet, have a coffee in the cafe and a wonderful building. I met 2 colleagues there and we had lunch and I have to say it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Please never change.

Report
The Pseudo Georgian exhibition was very interesting, well laid out and not all intimidating. Fascinating commentary by the artist which was beautifully tongue in cheek at times. Interesting bookshop and much appreciated free past copies of A magazine. Needs to be more widely promoted, must cite Ianvisits blog for my knowledge of this. My only complaint was the cost of the book. If cheaper I would have bought it to visit some of the sites to contrast and compare.
