The Explore
After arriving on site at lunch time ish there were some guys cutting the grass so we decided to go and have a look around spotting numerous other buildings not yet renovated. Went back to the front to see the grass still being cut. After a lovely subway we were deciding not to go back and try somewhere else but we were glad we returned! Loved this place! After trying to get in for just under a year.. It was defiantly worth the wait!
Enjoy!!
