Default Underwater ballroom..
Slightly off-topic but location related. Has anyone had the pleasure of seeing this unique little creation?

I believe it is in a place called Witley in Surrey. It is Victorian and has seen better days but what a great location it would make for a film scene, oui?

It looks like one the last 'in use' old public toilets here in Norwich.

It looks great, but is it really a) a ballroom and b) underwater?

With a lick of paint, I can see Dr Phibes in there.

Yep, apparently so.

It's not too far under the water for obvious reasons and It isn't all that big as I've seen some pictures of it taken at different angles. You have to imagine it in it's prime, it would have looked so romantic at night. I believe it's very easy to access to, providing you can find directions to it.

I've gotta say, I've been doing a bit of mooching around on the web and seen some more pictures of this place, and it's bloody fantastic.

This is close to me. I believe it ws originally a smoking room. It is too small for a ballroom. It is still in very good nick, but the owners are understanbly touchy about interlopers..It has been hit frequntly

Some good photos on that site CaptainWaggett, the approach to it via the jetty looks quite eerie too.
