The Wapping Project

I was very put off the Wapping Project by the comments here, but had an evening booked with a several people so I went. It was completely wonderful, the setting is outstanding, the art rivels the tate modern and the food was imaginative and delicious. We met Jules and there were absolutely no problems like those mentioned below. If you like imaginatively transformed spaces, modern art and good food this is the place for you, and it has a good atmosphere.

I have just been to the Wapping Project to see their current exhibition, which is a fantastic video-sound installation and thus requires a degree of silent contemplation. At around 4.30, having been there for around 10 minutes I was rudely interrupted. 'Hellooooo! We're closing!' shouted someone from the door. I told them that I had phoned earlier and that I'd been informed that they closed at 5.30. The person said they 'wanted to go home' but when I insisted, they left without a word. About 15min later, a woman stormed into the room, turned on the light and shouted 'That's it. I'm closing the building'. In shock, I started to complain, but she turned violently rude and screamed 'I'm the owner of the building, you f***ing' idiot!' while pushing me out. It was one of the most shocking, violent and rude treatments I have ever experienced from a restaurant/gallery owner. The two barmen rushed into the exhibition room to see what was happening. They appeared not to be surprised at her behaviour and refused to tell me her name when I asked. I found her name on a number of very bad reviews about this establishment: Jules Wright. I hurried out in disgust. Now I even regret not to have called the police.

I have just been abused by the owner of this restaurant..... DO NOT GO HERE !! My girlfriend booked a table and cancelled 30 minutes later (5 hours before the booking).. I then received a phone call confirming my name & number. I was then told I was a t**t and a liar and advised it was never canceled. I understand mistakes happen, but do not appreciate someone having this level of attitude and abuse to me. I have lived in London for 7 years and really hope the woman who I spoke to does not make a habit of this as they will never see my custom again and advise you to do likewise.
