Is there anything else you like?

I like its potential to be amazing due to its strategic location and possibilities of being more closely linked to the Old Vic and the businesses on Mercury House, eg Wahacca (or any other future business) can have a nice shop front overlooking the gardens with tables outside if the design is improved.

Is there anything else you dislike?

It is just characterless and infront of one of the great theatres of London - it seems a shame. It has no connection to the community or the theatre. It does not make you think or be enriched or encourage mingling. The roads are too busy around it to relax. There could be great planting and interesting relevant sculptures and seating - plus open curved spaces for stalls or events
