Reviews

Accessible location with good transport links. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Peak times during evening are super busy (as expected) but daytime is nice and quiet… so glad that the café area is back— perfect space to work and climb. Sometimes the grading is a bit off but they’re open to feedback.
