A three-storey sculptural pavilion by Stanton Williams acting as a bridgehead at the south-eastern edge of Granary Square, linking the Regent's Canal towpath to the square above. Wrap-around terraces on three levels plus a towpath-level bar; the first-floor terrace faces the fountains and the Grade II listed Granary Building one way and the canal the other. New-build rather than conversion, and one of the better modern public rooms in the area.
