Had a vague memory of this but couldn’t remember where it was. Asked my sisters who suggested it was in Ealing. Eventually asking on Reddit and thankfully people knew it, knew its name and where it was. I looked it up, its a shadow of its former self and less grand than my memory was remembering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
