The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

The gallery features paintings and sculptures by contemporary British, Continental and American artists, and takes its direction from late 19th-century modernistic developments such as Minimal and Conceptual art of the 70s.

I had been meaning to visit for some time, but had to see the Bauhaus exhibition as a fan of the movement. A very small exhibit but interesting to see how Bauhaus influenced british buildings. Excellent book shop for architecture fans.

London contemporary art gallery exhibiting exciting, mixed media, often 3D art, and sculpture, from a hugely talented global set of artists.
The Woolff Gallery is a lovely gallery that shows a variety of different artists with different styles. The staff are very helpful and happy to discuss the art and artists with you. They have an additional downstairs which also shows their artists works.

Pollock's Toy Museum is the oldest Toy Museum in the UK. House in two atmospheric buildings filled with over 4000 toys from around the world. At its heart, is the toy theatre collection. The Museum is named after Mr Pollock the last of the Victorian toy theatre publishers and still makes and sells theatres.
Don’t expect a highly curated history of the toy. This is an EXPERIENCE. It felt unchanged since I last visited in 1968 and I loved it. You cannot fake the atmosphere, Pollocks is the real thing. Absolute Treasure. Funny to read the other reviews some of which just don’t get it.

The Cartoon Museum shows a selection of original cartoon and comic art, mostly by British artists, from the 1750s to the present day. We are open again after lockdown, but please check our revised opening times. As the museum receives no funding from central or local government, admission charges apply but there are concessions available for students, OAPs, and registered unemployed. Admission is free to under-18s, Art Fund members, and ‘Friends of the Cartoon Museum’. Open Tuesday-Sunday, closed Mondays. Closed Christmas-New Year.
I can highly recommend seeing this collection, perfect for art students as there are some great line drawings on display. As for those interested in history and politics, here is the evidence that history just repeats itself. Good to meet enthusiastic staff who made me feel very welcome. Thank you.

Pi Artworks Istanbul/London was founded in Istanbul in 1998. In 2013 it became the region's first gallery to expand internationally when it opened a space on Eastcastle Street, London. Since opening a second venue, Pi Artworks has worked to enrich the UK art scene. It has helped realise major institutional exhibitions.
