    I was part of a larger gathering in the outdoor side room. The atmosphere was so cute and I loved the lighting above with all the vines. The staff were super nice and helpful, and truly allowed us to have fun in the space. The food was really good, I shared a pizza. It was very fresh and the crust was soft with a bit of crunch. Definitely would come back!

    Here for a Lost Souls open mic 🎤 poetry event upstairs where l performed .. first under night club floating lights and a bit of confusion in the dark. Atmospherics upstairs are definitely more nightclub, jazz cafe vibes than my kind of quiet reflective wordsmith sharing. Staff downstairs extremely kind afterwards guiding me to sit and enjoy the more chilled out space downstairs which is spacious and the bar stools extremely comfortable. No idea what the food is like as l didn't partake of any so l apologise if lve underscored there. The signage to toilets is quite clear though unexpected to climb an extra floor to reach them. I assume the downstairs area ones are more accessible. I liked the decor which was a mixture of quiet russet velvets, spring green and soft neons. The collages on the wall upstairs interesting. There's plenty of out door seating and tables to spill out into if inside is too busy. We couldn't take advantage of this as rain raged for a good hour. It's a fairly long walk back to the nearest tube and rail so for interlopers from north London it's something to consider if you want to visit and you're leaving post 10.30 pm.

    Trendy venue, with a pleasant atmosphere. Came for a work event, so didn't try the food or cocktails. But I look forward to a visit on a busy evening. The only issue was the cold gallery and cinema room.
