“I was amazed by how it was almost like a village or a standalone city,” says Ben Moore.

“It’s got its own café in the middle of the market that you can’t get into as the public. It opens up at 10am and closes at six in the morning, but it looks and feels just like an ordinary busy café. The more we spent time there, the more we realised that it has its own culture. They have their own language.”
