By July 2012 it was a child-friendly cafe and children's indoor playspace called Beanies <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7610055784/ photo]</small>. The playspace moved to [[Beanies, Whitgift Centre|a space in the Whitgift Centre]] around the end of 2014, though the cafe continued to run. By March 2015 there was new signage up for Project B (run by the same people as Beanies). |

In February 2016 a vegan cafe called Buttercream Dreams opened in the ground floor space, though the building remained in the hands of Project B as an events company. Buttercream Dreams moved out again in June 2016. (As of July 2016 Buttercream Dreams operated as a stall on Surrey Street Market and a cafe in Camden, but both of these outlets closed down in August 2016, with the Buttercream Dreams Facebook page citing the owner's health problems as the reason.) |

As of July 2016 the ground floor was used as an evening-only bar, while the owners looked for a new daytime cafe operator to replace Buttercream Dreams. We aren't sure if the cafe ever did open again. By December 2019 the space was operating as a private hire venue only. |
