Review from visitor chris.
Room at the top is a novel by john braine first published in the united kingdom by eyre spottiswoode in 1957 about the rise of an ambitious young man of humble origin and the socio economic struggles undergone in realising his social ambitions in post war britain.
We went to room at the top ilford used to be penthouse on a girls night out slow early but at about 10 pm was busier and we had a fantastic night.

The ilford palais put the town on the map in the 1960s and was a popular haunt for west ham players to dance the night away.
