    Great access

    Visited Saramamgo cafe for lunch with friends. Staff were very helpful at moving tables and fitting us all in. Table height could have been better but problem was solved by elevating my plate on top of a bowl. Great food, great books and exhibitions. Lift to other levels. Well worth a visit. Could really do with automatic doors though.

    Cool amazing building with access in mind

    This is an amazing building that I always wanted to visit, it always has really interesting shows advertised and the shop window always looked interesting. Our hotel was round the corner and it was the perfect opportunity to check it out. I was really glad to get the chance to see Rob Churn's so which was closing that weekend!
