Orleans House Gallery

Stroll along a peaceful riverside road into secluded woodland gardens, to find a stunning 18th century interior design - and the principal art gallery for the borough of Richmond upon Thames. Orleans House has a rich and vibrant history, from the baroque Octagon room, which was designed by renowned architect James Gibbs, to a main gallery which hosts five temporary exhibitions each year - ranging from the historical to the contemporary.

If anything it’s even better after lockdown. The last time I visited the gallery at least eighteen months ago it felt a little unloved. It has since been beautifully refurbished adding a ground floor entrance lobby and a research room on the second floor with displays of objects associated with the 19th century explorer Sir Richard Burton. There’s nothing like a lick of white paint and the cleaning of the parquet flooring to liven up the ground floor gallery and first floor balcony where there is currently an exhibition of contemporary paintings and sculpture inspired by works in the Borough’s collection. The one-way system allows visitors to pass through the splendid Octagon Room a:deservedly popular venue for wedding receptions as well as visit the adjoining Stables Gallery (and cafe with outdoor seating) currently exhibiting works curated by Richmond Borough Mind around the subject of mental health.

Heath Robinson Museum

Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11am-4pm this stylish purpose-built museum dedicated to the life and work of William Heath Robinson has become a focal point in Pinner's beautiful Memorial Park. Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was a renowned landscape artist, cartoonist, illustrator and social historian. Much loved as the "Gadget King" for his pictures of complex contraptions designed to achieve the simplest of outcomes, his work retains huge resonance with our modern world. With a rolling programme of themed Special Exhibitions complementing the main Heath Robinson Gallery, this beautifully-curated small museum is a must-see for all ages. A short walk from Pinner Tube (Met Line) with ample parking, make it a day out: enjoy the park with its tree-lined walkways, secure well-equipped children's play area, have a coffee overlooking the lake and visit shops, cafes and restaurants in Pinner's village and historic High Street . Changing temporary exhibitions run for three months.

Very pleasant museum with something for everyone, whether you are familiar with W. Heath Robinson or new to his work. Set in the green of Pinner Memorial Park, well worth a visit.

Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

Temporary exhibit of Chihuly's glass sculptures at the Gallery is phenomenal! All of them are so unique and different one from another; the variety of colors, intricate shapes and forms are beyond any reasonable imagination. I also loved the Gallery shop, where you can actually acquire a small Chihuly's glass sculpture, if you are ready to spare $$$$... but his works are worth every penny of their price tag.

Drawing Room

Reviewed By futtock21 - London, United Kingdom

Other than at the Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch this is, so far as I am aware, the only gallery space in London dedicated exclusively to drawing. And what an exhibition it currently offers! Around the theme of artist as medium or facilitator of a dialogue with the spirit world are displayed works by a range of artists from the last 250 years from Britain and the continent. Where else might one see in the same room works by William Blake, Victor Hugo (I thought he was an author rather than a printmaker) and Sigmar Polke, one of the few exhibitions at which one Is justified in lingering over virtually every work on display both in a single room and a library behind. At the front a bookshop with some works for sale both in browsers and framed on the walls. All very impressive and not what I might have expected off a side road between Elephant & Castle and the Old Kent Road flyover.
