The Cellarium Café and Misericorde Terrace is a new 150-seat dining and catering facility for the Dean & Chapter of Westminster Abbey, offering much needed hospitality to visitors, local residents and government staff. The restaurant is situated in part of the 11th Century Abbey complex and consists of two main dining spaces, the Cellarium and the Misericorde, alongside a new shop. The Cellarium (the Latin word for a cellar) was built as part of the domestic range for the Benedictine monks. Subsequent modifications and insertions had split the original 14th Century vaults and created a myriad of levels. The primary architectural aim was to restore the Cellarium to its former glory and provide public access. This was achieved by careful but substantial demolition of later additions. The Misericorde at first floor level consists of a new-build structure with an external terrace. Structural glazing separates this new element from the existing building.
