The most annoying things Strand Reception get asked

Apparently Strand is quite a confusing place. Here’s the top ten questions Strand Reception hear all too much


We’ve all been there: feeling rather silly after asking yet another pointless question at the Strand reception desk. This is generally followed by a day or two of shameful rushing past the desk. Naturally, when I put our most annoying queries together in one place, they seemed even more half-witted! Check them out:

1. Is this King’s College London?

Obviously.

 2. The infamous: Where is…?

-The Strand?

Strand Station.

-Room Q135?

FYI: It’s in the China Institute, in the basement.

Walkabout? The Compass? The toilet?

3. Where is lost property? I left a cup of tea lying around, hope somebody had the sense to hand it in…

Cash ’em in quick.

4. Do you have a tampon? Oh and the ground floor Ladies is out of toilet paper… again…

Daamn Girl!

5. Can you tell me how to get to that free food place?

Hare Krishna @LSE

6. Can you print this for me?

Go away!

7. How long will they be on the phone?

GAHHH!

8.  Can I borrow your phone?

NO!

9. What number is this?…

I don’t know who I was talking to yesterday, but I need to speak to them again… Do you know who I was speaking to?

Rejection!

10.  Are you busy?

I double dare ya muthaf*cka!

And so, I leave you with the wise words of Samuel L. Jackson. Think twice before asking silly questions. Strand reception is not in charge of parenting us, nor are they in charge of entertaining us!
