Come to Ipswich during the 2nd weekend in September and pick up a "open heritage" booklet and visit this grade 2 listed building designed by Norman Foster in the 1970s. the outside is hung smoked glass, and the interiors are yellow and green as Norman Foster was, reportedly a Norwich City supporter. Have a cup of tea in the cafe situated at the top of a series of esculators running through the middle of the building, and sit in the most famous roof lawn in East Anglia.
