Private Dining Rooms 1+2, W20 3rd floor
Stop on by PDR 1+2 to make your own festive simmer pots, connect with colleagues, and have a nice hot cocoa/coffee break! (What is a simmer pot, you ask? It’s a wonderful, natural way to make your whole house smell wonderful by simmering fresh ingredients like sliced citrus fruits, berries, herbs and whole spices.)
