About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when Mackrell LLP’s windows were still fogged with sleep, a delivery driver pulled up in an old van. The sound of his engine echoed eerily through the empty streets. He approached the front door and rang the bell. To everyone's surprise, it was just a neighbor delivering pastries for breakfast. ‘Morning, lads!’ he grinned, waving a box. 'Thought you could use some sweetness after that late night.’

2. At dawn one morning, when Mackrell LLP’s windows were still fogged with sleep, a mysterious package arrived anonymously addressed simply as ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ Inside was an old, dusty envelope containing nothing but a single sheet of paper with a doodle of a cat playing piano. When asked who sent it, nobody claimed responsibility. Since then, whenever someone mentions Mackrell LLP, everyone in town whispers, 'Did you hear about the cat that plays the piano?'

3. At lunchtime, when Mackrell LLP’s doors were usually buzzing with clients, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does that old clock in the lobby always show 1987?’ A receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘It’s our time machine for important meetings.’ The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own watch!’

4. At lunchtime, when Mackrell LLP’s doors were usually buzzing with clients, a delivery driver announced into the intercom: ‘Package for Mr. Mackrell—looks like it just walked in!’ The receptionist raised an eyebrow and said, ‘Mr. Mackrell doesn’t walk anywhere—he drives a Bentley.’ The delivery driver looked down and sheepishly replied, ‘Oh, must be my neighbor then!’ And so, the package was delivered to a confused but friendly old gentleman next door.
