Our artist in residence, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, is back! He takes the time for a ride in our incredibly slow elevator South.
It certainly is one of the slowest (laughs). There was a similar one in the Royal Academy of Music, which they have since replaced. It was very very very slow, and I used to have lessons on the top floor. Once, I got stuck in there together with my sister's piano teacher...
Slowness bothers me, patience doesn't – as it means taking the time things need. I practice slowly. But if I'm in London and people are walking slowly in the street, that bothers me more than it should. When I'm in the city, I usually want to go somewhere. I have quite a fast-pace life and sometimes I worry that there's not enough time for everything I want to do.
I really like the casino with its kind of lighting. It's feels good for conversation. It's one of the nicest backstage areas I know.
So we have the slowest elevator and the best cafeteria – that's something!
