Hi @AgentTech, thanks for sharing this with us. I've removed the name of the specific location due to privacy reasons, but hopefully others will share their ESA assessment experiences regardless.
It's impossible to predict how an assessment went or what somebody's outcome will be, but I have my fingers crossed for the outcome you're hoping for. Do keep us updated!1 -

Hi AgentTech, I also have an assessment coming up at this centre. Haven't been before but just on principle I would always be wary of the "smiling assassin". At a different centre last summer I had no option but to go alone,(no family) that was the first thing she wrote on her report, after that it was game over. Situation is going to be the same at the next one, but definitely be wary, they are very friendly and because they put you at your ease they then use this against you. This is fact from personal experience. Sorry if this adds to the stress levels, but I thought you should be aware.0

Assessment centres can be viewed on google street view, at least this gives you some idea of the location and layout of the outside. Cameras could quite possibly be outside too, so be wary of that.
