The venue 'Nation' which is home to Cream is made up of 3 separate rooms, each of varying shape and size; the 1400 capacity Main room, 650 capacity Annexe and 850 capacity Courtyard. Since Cream ended their weekly club shows at Nation in 2002, Nation has continued to hold other events, such as the longest running and biggest student night in the UK Medication at Nation Chibuku, Film Premiere Aftershow parties, MTV and Yo-Yo to name a few.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“That we can come here today and in the presence of thousands and tens of thousands of the survivors of the gallant army of Northern Virginia and their descendants, establish such an enduring monument by their hospitable welcome and acclaim, is conclusive proof of the uniting of the sections, and a universal confession that all that was done was well done, that the battle had to be fought, that the sections had to be tried, but that in the end, the result has inured to the common benefit of all.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“How many things served us but yesterday as articles of faith, which today we deem but fables?”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“I became the Incredible Shrinking Mother the year they started junior high. If our relationship today depended on physical clout, I would have about the same influence with them that the republic of Liechtenstein has on world politics.”
