More delicious art to consume with a side of chips.


[32 John Adam Street, London WC2N 6BP]

[The Horse Hospital, Chalk Farm Road NW1 8AH]

Over the last ten years Proud Galleries has become Europe’s most popular privately funded photographic gallery, consistently receiving some of the best press coverage in the country. With a focus on photography reflecting popular culture, encompassing rock & roll, fashion, sporting moments and more, our shows are always exciting, cutting edge and sometimes controversial.








[84 St. Peters Street, London, N1 8JS]

Art Space Gallery was founded in 1986 by Michael and Oya Richardson and soon came to be recognised as one of London's foremost venues dedicated to showing and promoting serious painting. In 1993 the art critic and writer Keith Patrick, then chairman of the British section of the International Association of Art Critics wrote that:
"Art Space Gallery is one of those rare galleries which spontaneously attract the interest of artists and many distinguished names are frequent visitors to its exhibitions. This is even more remarkable given that the gallery is situated in a quiet corner of Islington and not in the commercial centre of Bond Street.






The Gigliardi Gallery
[509 Kings Road, Chelsea, London SW10 0TX]

The Gagliardi Gallery is located in Chelsea, one of the most prestigious areas of London. Internationally important artists have lived and worked in Chelsea which has become the artistic center of London. The Gallery collaborates with some 60 artists, from the very young, just out of art school, to established artists, whose works are present in some of the greatest museums in the world.














The British Museum
[Great Russell StreetLondonWC1B 3DG]

Through touring exhibitions, loans, collaborative projects and other partnerships, the Museum has a UK and worldwide reach unprecedented in its history. Six million people visit the British museum every year, making it London's greatest tourist attraction. It was built in the first half of the nineteenth century, at a time when Britain's empire building activities were putting more and more peoples and lands under British control.














The Tate is a family of four art galleries housing the UK's collection of British art from 1500 and of international modern art. British art from the 1500's is found at Tate Britain which is located in London [Millbank, London SW1P 4RG]. Tate Modern, also located in London [Bankside, London SE1 9TG ] is where you can find international modern and contemporary art. If you find yourself in Liverpool, you can check out the internation modern and contemporary art collection of Tate Liverpool [Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4BB ], and finally, you can wrap up your Tate tour with the international modern and contemporary collect of Tate St. Ives [Porthmeor BeachSt IvesCornwallTR26 1TG ].












Whitechapel Art Gallery
[80-82 Whitechapel High StreetWhitechapel, London, E1 7QX,]

The Whitechapel Art Gallery was founded in 1901 to bring great art to the people of east London. Internationally acclaimed for its exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and its pioneering education and public events programmes, the Gallery has premiered international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Nan Goldin, and provided a showcase for Britain’s most significant artists from Gilbert & George to Lucian Freud, Peter Doig to Mark Wallinger.











The Menier Gallery
[53 Southwark Street, London SE1 1RU]

“There’s nowhere quite like the Chocolate Factory anywhere… the bubbliest kid on the block and one of London’s greatest theatre hopes.” Throughout its history, the building has been inspired by both individuality and the pursuit of quality. Built in 1870 to house a chocolate factory, this unique space now comprises rehearsal rooms, a restaurant and theatre. Having maintained the original exposed wooden beams, unusual cast iron columns and an amazing brick feature interior, the Chocolate Factory is a stimulating environment to experience high-quality, challenging and entertaining theatre.
