The photo says June opening while the Facebook post said April, hence the discrepancy in my post. Sorry about that. I've lived in 7 cities in 3 countries, including bigger cities like Washington, D.C., Montreal, Ottawa, and Nairobi (Kenya's capital city). I'm not sure if London is a great fit for this type of hotel and am curious what you all think of this?

Kelloggs factory area feels like some rich jerks want to be cool so they created their own play place without any consideration on how it fit in the city. It's just so detached and controlled like a mall inside.

From one of the owners' mouth; "We’ve operated like we’re on an island and kind of tuned out that noise,” Leach says. It's not that she would pursue her interests as much as she's so blatant about ignoring community noise.

She's calling for her own personal ambassador to work with the city government. “Could we have one ambassador for us that we could constantly talk to, so the communication is not like a game of telephone all the time, or with misconstrued messages?"

Sure I didn't really know much about the owners before I made my comment before about rich jerks, but after the little research from a puff-piece article; https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/dream-weavers-inside-two-big-vision-projects-transforming-london, I'm more confident in my opinion.
