After fighting our way across London and eventually finding a parking (on a double yellow line with my blue badge permit), we arrived at the venue. My heart sank when the first thing I noticed was the stairs! It took a while for the doormen to find out how I could get into the building but eventually we got directed to the freight elevator around the side – a not so auspicious start to the day but I was trying to stay positive and really needed a coffee by this point.
This will not be the first, or last, trip I make in a freight elevator to get into a building but in this case it was at least light, airy and clean.
First things first, coffee, free samples and a quick pose for the blog….
Once inside access was good and ramps had been provided between the two sections of the old brewery.
Before we left we hunted down the toilets and wow, was I pleasantly surprised! I think the disabled toilets are definitely a new addition as they don’t even have signs on the doors yet but they were beautifully appointed with black and white tiles – an absolute pleasure. Thank you Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London.
A few hours later, rather a few too many coffees later and some interesting contacts made, we set off on the long journey home. Lancashire to London and back in a day – a good day’s work and a special treat out with the hubby.
