Used it as a quiet little cut through when I worked in Somerset House. And there's a nice small garden at the bottom too.

For over 25 years, science and discovery centres have been at the heart of inspiring millions of people to explore, question, and be part of UK science and technology. But they're seriously under threat… 1/3
