The Image has produced a novel solution to the ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces, which came into force in July 2007. This courtyard has been built, which looks for all the world like it is an interior space, complete with fire and hearth, and large screen tv. In fact, the 'ceiling' is in fact merely a canopy and we are viewing from a table open to the elements.
