(Art)chitecture no : 36

Harris + Hoole, Amersham

One of Amersham's newer coffee shops, Harris + Hoole, is definitely well settled in to local life.  They have lovely work up from local artists and often host nights promoting various things.

The have a great selection of drinks - hot & cold, food, and even a few bits for the kitchen!

Lovely high ceilings, big windows, and an open kitchen all create a great atmosphere.  Along with an eclectic mix of tables, chairs and sofas, it's a nice place to meet friends for a catch up or have some quiet time with a nice magazine or book.
