SIR - We are dismayed at the news that part of the Guildhall might be taken over by a coffee chain serving, I have no doubt, over-priced food and coffee.

We have been to the Guildhall restaurant several times and were there recently with friends to show them how nice it was. My suggestion is that the unwanted rooms are let as art studios or similar which is more befitting the Guildhall.
