Had SUCH a good time here. Dropped in for an R&B night. The DJ was great, the drinks were reasonably priced. I didn’t have food but the options smelled amazing and I will definitely be trying some when I come back. This was a great venue to meet locals when visiting town.

Great tour, good information and our guide, Wesley, was very nice. Also, do yourself a favor and grab a bite at Maureen's... best meal we had in London!

Loved it - went with friends on a weekend - great atmosphere 🎉👌
Iva

Good music and a nice mixed crowd. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere with multiple bars and food vendors (the jerk smelled amazing so will be trying it next time for sure!) The toilets are mixed and can get busy so be prepared to queue during busy times. Our small group went on a Saturday afternoon, so there was no need to queue, but it did get busier as the evening progressed and the venue filled with walk-ins and people who'd attended earlier ticketed events.
Rebecca

Really cool outdoor area with great music. Nice food and drink options as well! I'd definitely like to return for more events

You have to come here. It is amazing. There are loads of food options, and there are plenty of bars. The whole place is made out of shipping containers, and there are loads of seating areas. You don't really sit in. You take your food/drink to one of the communal areas. It's really good.
