Brilliant :). I think an ongoing 'corridor track' is a wonderful idea.
Limehouse has a few top-notch corridor areas. We could maybe do something
with an lcd screen in the shade and have a 'smokers corner' presentation

Maybe we can make a nice one in the little garden under the fire-escape
round the back. I'm not sure if we'll have to make the whole space
non-smoking for the event. I'll find out.
