To Reach

From the main entrance, go through the foyer and along the main corridor to the end and turn right. Continue, up four steps (or ramp) into the Concourse and carry on to the far (south) side. Go up the first flight of the main stairs, in front of you and continue forward to the door to the ante room.

Note, if you find steps down from the concourse, you need to move towards the middle to find the main stairs, the banisters jut out (north) by a metre or so into the concourse.

Overview

Hall A (AKA the Warwick Suite) consists of two rooms, the main temple area and an ante room between this and the landing at the top of the first flight of the main stairs. You enter the ante room via double doors, facing south.

Layout

The Ante Room

Go through double doors, you enter the ante room, facing south. In doing this, you move from carpet onto a solid floor. The doors are slightly offset to the east of the centre of the bar in front of you. This is half an octagon jutting north into this ante room. You can go to either side of this bar into the main temple.

The Main Temple

This is the main temple with the other half of the octagonal bar jutting south, between the two sets of entrance doors.

This is a rectangular room with three broad, shallow steps with carpeted floor rising from round the east, south and west sides, to seating areas around the walls. There's a fire exit in the northwest and northeast corners.

The only non-carpeted area is by the bar and within the two entrances in the north side.

The Exhibition Space

The exhibition is established around the left, far and right sides of the room, plus two rows of tables, in the middle leading away from the entrance.
