The couches were comfy, the normally busy space was quiet, 7.45 am coffee was great! Normally the space is buzzing with undergraduates and lecturers from all over, especially the drama school and business school which are housed in this building. We arrived while the staff were still setting up for the day, and the espresso machine was still warming up. They welcomed us, and took our orders with a friendly smile. After serving us, we were left alone to have our conversation.
