A Speakeasy located in the heart of Swindons Old Town. Serving fine spirits and cocktails in an intimate, friendly environment. Velvet booths and subtle lighting emphasise the tasteful design within the old Victorian bank building.

Had a lovely socially distanced brunch with unlimited Prosecco and pornstar martinis . The venue is cosy and very welcoming inside . I especially like the funky artwork and decor . All the staff completed their tasks with excellent customer service. Will be going back again to try more of their cocktails .

Lydiard Park is a great facility to have on our doorstep, boasting lovely walks, lots of outdoor space for exercise or relaxing and very good playground facilities. There's plenty of history in the house and various artefacts, such as the old ice house and good catering options available. Well worth a visit!

Large lake to walk around, going through woody areas so nice & cool on a hot day plus large open grass areas suitable for picnics. Theres a small cafe & toilets which are open plus a play park but that's closed at the moment. Plenty of swans, geese & ducks to feed. Popular with dog walkers & cyclists. Theres a large car park which has an overflow area on a field for busy times & costs £1 for 2 hours. Great place for families with small children.
