the city centre of Bristol, which has a wide range of eating
facilities and options. There is a Women's Royal
Voluntary Service (WRVS) shop selling sandwiches, snacks, hot and
cold drinks, newspapers, magazines, together with a small supply of
toiletries and gifts in the Queens Building and a smaller coffee
shop in the King Edward Buliding.
Wheelchairs can be accessed from the main entrance of the Queens
