Where to begin with-the last renovation is probably before I was born,the toilets are paid,the interior is dark and ugly,the ticket system is so outdated,that all the information about the shows are handwritten.

Staying at the Hilton hotel i could hardly avoid seeing this strange building every time i left the hotel.Given that this is by a park it rather stands out like a sore thump.It is completely unsympathetic in tone to the rest of the area.I do not know when it was built but it is redolent of the sort of architecture...
