Went to the Bookish preview and q&a. The autograph session was well organised. Friendly and helpful staff. They sold the books to get signed. There's a café. I really liked the clean and gender neutral toilets. I decided to stay and watch Star Wars afterwards.
This is my favorite place in London! The best cinema in the world, cheap tickets especially for young people, wide and wild selection of films. I shall miss this place very much.
Overall, it was a mixed experience. The issue I had was with the seats. The design meant you couldn't lean back and rest your head and although they were quite wide and deep, it was difficult to push yourself back into them because it was impossible to get any traction on the carpet, so I constantly slid forwards. This made it very uncomfortable, with no support for the lumber spine, I don't understand how the seating is so poor, it seemed to be a shared experience across my group. Be warned, take a cushion! The chairs look comfortable, however... The loos were very clean, which is always a plus.
Interesting architecture and plenty of things to do.
