The Store X — Local services in London

This place was good to go and see a gig on Saturday the 24th of February. I went to see a band called NIRIS, they have a YouTube channel and they have a Facebook page, they are two guys on guitars, or one on the guitar and one on the piano - beautiful instrumental music, they have also done a cover of The Game of Thrones theme tune. It was with sofar sounds, which is a chilled out game where you sit on the floor. And it is hippie like. You can bring your own beverages. You can win tickets to gigs. You can go on the sofar sounds website to see gigs they offer in over 40 countries I believe. The gig was nice and relaxed, there was seating available around the sides. There was also very good music and you could talk to the musicians afterwards. When entering the storm there was a fashion event on with lots of stalls where you could buy merchandise. The place reminded me of the Tate Modern, it had that similar feel to it. It had very good security and bouncers. A five minute walk away from Temple station....

As an aficionado of the Arts in general, I love this cavernous, brutalist former..ehem, what was it once..a multi-storey car park? Was freezing that one time I visited, but the young studenty staff (attendants) sitting forlornly at the exhibition rooms were cheerful and helpful in explaining the layout of this multi-level arts venue. There is a cafe, as I smelled the coffee, but the young staff were far from friendly, and I didn't understand why I couldn't get a coffee..and was shunted from one end of the queue to the other, and then they couldn't make the coffee after all! Definitely go back for...

Where they held 'The Infinite Mix' exhibition. The building itself is very bare, and lends itself to this kind of exhibition very well. You really get a sense of exploration, walking from room to room anticipating what will come next. It would be a dream come true if they held consecutive installments of the infinite mix throughout the year, but I guess I've no idea what else they'll do here after it finishes.

Also a pretty cool cafe half way through the exhibition, which is nice for a brief gaze...
