I held a book launch at The Africa Centre and I cannot thank them enough. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The venue was ideally located and easy to access on public transport. Special thanks to Chike who was just an absolute pleasure to work with and helped make my event such a success.

Great venue! Very helpful staff and in an excellent location! Thank you!!
Unfortunately there were no dairy alternatives regarding beverages and there wasn't any water. I am sure this could be resolved with more communication from our part.
