We visited the Wellcome Collection cafe and shop on the recommendation of a friend, who knew we would be in the St Pancras area of London on a Thursday evening. It was a calming, wonderful surprise.
The cafe sits in the large, open ground floor of the building. It’s airy and bright, with fresh, delicious food and hot drinks being served from a counter along one side. We made our choices and then sat and ate in the peaceful space. It was full, but not crowded and the mood relaxed.
After our meal we walked around the shop, lingering in the large book section with its strong medical, environmental, health and well-being feel. The mix was interesting, and felt different to anywhere I had been before.
It was only on the way out that I noticed the gentleman above hanging suspended over the entrance hall. I have no idea what he was doing there.
(If you are in the St Pancras area I highly recommend a visit to the Wellcome Collection. It feels like the sort of space where there would always be something to explore. It is a short walk from Euston Square underground station)
