This could be quite a noisy route- Bexley wing atrium often has a piano player, but it is big and airy.

The outside portion can be quite windy. There are some rest seats along the inside route but few outside. Similarly, handrails are available inside along the route but not outside.

There are toilets in the Bexley wing atrium. This route is suitable for drip stands. Bexley wing is a very nice building with lots of art on the walls.
