Mr Robin Flewitt
The directions to the let could be made clearer. There is no mention of a gate at the top of the alley which was closed on my arrival. As this just appeared to be a service alley with no mention of the lets at the end of it, I was very unsure as to where this was leading to having decided to try, as the let is a long way down the alley which appears to be heading nowhere. There is also no information on where to place rubbish bags. Otherwise the let served my needs perfectly.

Fabulous location and a little tricky to find, but once you n ow it’s there it’s dead easy. Don’t plan on cooking anything as it’s just too small, but with such lovely restaurants around why would you want to cook?
