Silvery. Vaulty

Beyond expectations
A collection of 30 - give or take - old bank vaults / cells, complete with heavy steel doors and of varying sizes, that have been converted into independent silver 'shops'. Worth a visit just for the slightly wierd time capsule atmosphere, the strange set up and the vast array of silverware. Bags etc are searched on arrival. For obvious reasons.
While there is room to move in the corridors the individual vaults themselves are crammed with silver of varying styles, prices and ages. It's often a case of peering over the stall holders head. The amount of things in there can be a bit daunting but perfect if you know what you're looking for.
While the vaults at the front seem to have the newest and slightly more ostentatious items, the vaults ones at the back are probably the more interesting if you're a collector or on the look out for something more quirky. Price? Well it's silver so not cheap and the varied items means that its impossible to say but if you like this sort of thing you'll love this place. Level of service obviously depends on which stall you go to.
Worth a visit even if you're not in the market to buy anything.
