Also called "the flat". To access this room sited on the left of the building you need to go through the kitchen and left. The flat has its own kitchen facilities and lounge though veterans seldom use them for that purpose as they prefer to socialise in the main lounge and kitchen. It too has an en-suite bathroom.
This room is used for sitting back and enjoying the views, purposely kept free of military memorabilia.
With fantastic views of the harbour and fully equipped with comfortable settees, TV and board games (including uckers) this is the main meeting place where veterans and their guests chill and remember.
