I had a cracking donation session yesterday actually, an ill-timed cold sore last week meant that I had to reschedule from my normal session, and I ended up at the Fishmongers' Hall, which is an old style Livery Company hall, full of stained glass and wood, and never normally open to the public. I'm definitely going there again.
But they were very nannying - I normally jump off the bed after ten seconds, swig down weak lemon drink, grab the KP crisps (are blood donor sessions the only remaining source of KP crisps I wonder?) and run, but these guys literally stood over me with an actual stop watch to make sure I didn't stand up too soon, and barricaded the entrance until I'd drunk my tea properly, sitting down.

The Fishmongers' Hall sounds neat. At RAF Henlow the donor sessions were held in a utilitarian concrete room, with giant ducts that happened to be painted (venous) blood red.
