I
visited
on
a
Saturday
morning
for
the
10am
slot
for
the
CUTE
exhibition.
I
personally
bought
pre-booked
tickets
which
came
at
a
reduced
price
for
students
at
£14
but
there
was
not
a
long
queue
for
buying
in-person,
at
that
moment.
The
exhibition
itself
was
well
organised
and
took
about
an
hour
to
get
through.
Lots
of
staff
around
to
help
which
was
nice
and
the
creative
pieces
themselves
were
thoroughly
enjoyable,
ranging
from
a
wide
variety
of
activities,
artwork
and
media.
The
artbox
cafe
was
a
disappointment
however.
We
began
waiting
at
11:15am
and
ended
up
getting
into
the
cafe
after
12.
Customers
who
were
only
getting
drinks
were
quickly
getting
sent
to
get
them
and
go
out,
perhaps
to
come
back
another
day
to
sit
in
and
have
the
food.
I
opted
to
stay
in
thus
the
hour
long
queue
with
my
friends.
For
an
hour’s
wait,
the
cafe
turned
out
to
be
small
and
rather
crowded.
Cramped
seating
which
was
more
akin
to
a
high
school
lunch
room
layout
rather
than
a
cafe
pop
up
in
a
building
as
popular,
refined
and
reputable
as
Somerset
House.
The
food
probably
tasted
good
because
of
how
hungry
we
were.
The
strawberry
cream
hot
chocolate
was
definitely
well
worth
it
though,
the
total
for
a
cake
slice
(3
layers)
and
the
drink
(mine
automatically
came
with
squirty
cream,
sprinkles
and
mini
marshmallows
but
for
some
it
was
50p
per
add-on)
came
to
£12.90.
The
drink
did
get
cold
pretty
quick
and
the
cake,
although
tasty,
wasn’t
anything
innovative
and
I
could
probably
get
the
same
quality
for
a
whole
cake,
much
cheaper
at
my
local
sainsbury’s
or
asda.
But
this
is
London,
so
stuff
like
this
is
expected
I
suppose.
If
you
do
want
to
visit
the
cafe
badly,
I’d
suggest
going
before
your
exhibition
time
as
it
can
be
accessed
anytime
and
preferably
on
a
weekday.
They’ve
further
reduced
the
days
and
times
they’re
open
so
that’s
more
of
a
hindrance
to
their
already
subpar
business
I
suppose.
Very
close
to
giving
it
a
2
star
rating
but
the
exhibition
was
lots
of
fun
and
so
made
up
for
the
mediocre,
overpriced
food
afterwards.
