The location was convenient. Green park was just steps away. the gin cocktail masterclass with alessandro was a highlight. we sampled three cocktails, including a french 75, clover club, and dry martini. the staff was always friendly and helpful.
i found the parking fee to be a bit expensive. it reminded me of a public car park rate should have been subsidised, not marked up, .
