5.0 based on 11 reviews
London's hottest new artist Sophie Tea breaks away from her former Instagram sales and launches her very first solo gallery in Manly. Housing a collection of nudes, hearts and abstracts, Sophie doubles the space as a working studio also. Visitors can be lucky enough to watch the trendy artist in action as she divides her time between the Sydney shop and her London studio.

Sophie is an amazing artist, her passion shows in her work and the attention to detail with her shop is unreal! I have followed her on IG for a long time and am desperate to visit her shop, will definitely be going as soon as I can!

I loved my visit to the historic and now largely restored Manly Quarantine station. It offers living history as well as some breathtaking natural beauty. At the core of the site is the Luggage Store Museum, which brings together the stories of many of the parts of the Q. station that you see as you wander around the site. The museum is small and free to enter, with a friendly and helpful attendant on duty when we visited. As well as some mocked up rooms and dormitories for the quarantine era, the museum features boards detailing the histories of various epidemics to hit Sydney while the Q station was in full operation, including smallpox (1881) and bubonic plague (1900). They are wordy, but worthwhile reading if you have the time and want to get an insight into how the place worked. Of particular interest in 2020 is the board that describes the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic. Next to the museum is a small 'cafe', but the less said of that the better. We found it dingy and uninviting. Sandwiches were pre-packaged and coffee only available in disposable cups.

At Sydney Road Gallery encourage and enjoy the coming together of patrons as well as stylists, interior designers and architects who create a unique and aesthetically beautiful spaces place to live and work.
