From tomorrow, Towner is pleased to be able to share with you all the results of our completely revamped ground floor area, after many months of refurbishment. Designed by British architects, Manalo & White, we have worked hard to create a brighter, more accessible and relaxing environment, perfect for socialising, browsing, shopping or quiet reflection.
