In terms of spending public money, I hope people visited our temporary pavilion right outside the British Museum tucked into CG's Skywalk niche. It was an amazing spot. We reckon approx 5000x walked through our pavilion, which included lost tourists, LFA visitors, friends and family and members of the public looking for our organised events alongside the pavilion. 2x bespoke events were arranged.; a Tour of Bloomsbury and a Family + Young People's Activity Fun Pack. More than 60x people embarked on the tour with our lovely tour guide. And approx 250x families took part in our family activity pack, which included an architectural/historical treasure hunt, drawing materials and chalk to scribble onto our pavilion!! And all this for FREE for the PUBLIC! I can’t speak for CG, but I’m pretty sure the ramps did not exceed 1:12 rise which is the standard requirement for accessibility.

I thought it would get you up close to the different buildings and street furniture around there, giving everyone a interesting new perspective on the lights, the trees, the balconies and fences in the area from above. I was sadly disappointed, a real opportunity missed me thinks. The walkway itself.....slightly angled scaffolding.
