CYBERIA




Pillocks
Cyberia doesn't benefit from much passing trade apart from Japanese tourists looking for Pollock's toy museum which is opposite, and stumbling into Cyberia by mistake. While I was sitting outside sunbathing, lots of them asked me 'Is this Pollock's?' and I said, 'Yes, it is'. Because it is.

But I suppose the area around Charlotte Street is still hip and cosmopolitan, with a sprinkling of advertising and TV types, and enough students to keep the Generation X quota high. I think most of them who had got up early enough were in Cyberia.

There were a few would-be's who looked like they were doing a Jane Fonda step-workout at the front door, while they decided whether to go in or not. But there was a Vespa parked outside, which probably swung it for most of them.
