About Jeremy Bentham Room (JBR)
Jeremy Bentham Room (JBR) is a restaurant in London at 23-25 Gower St, set inside UCL. The space is called the Bentham Room, and a preserved body from the 1800s is on display there. Visitors come to look at it, which makes the room a stop for people interested in the display as much as in a meal. No food is cooked or brought to you on site, so what you eat depends on what you bring with you.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly to eat while looking at a preserved body from the 1800s, calling it a rare thing to see inside UCL. One finds the food okay and the service lacking, since the figure never spoke to them, while another credits the air conditioning. A few joke that the room doesn't cook or bring food and just watches diners eat.

“Doesn’t cook food. Doesn’t bring food. Just watches you eat.”

“Food quality is dependent on what u bring, I'd say I usually don't do huge takeaways and eat other places so that is only 4 stars for me. Service is bad, this dude just sits there and stares. He takes away my utility for his evil gains, i can tell from his gazing. But damn this place is air conditioned. So i got my utility back from the summer.”

“Arguably caused more food than bad, which Bentham would be happy with I guess, cool to see such a rare thing”

“The food was okay, however, Jeremy didn't speak to us at all (thus the 1 star for service). Wait staff should be more attentive to the customers. 10/10 vibes tho”
