    The Gallery is split between two venues within Southwark park. One is a former church at the bottom edge of the park, while the other is in the centre. The exhibitions are generally linked and change frequently to keep it interesting for regular visitors. Also attended some interesting performance art as park of the various exhibitions.

    Lovely gallery with attentive staff and a small but really well curated gift shop and a patio garden. Been there for the annual exhibition of selected artists, an impressive display of art works from floor to (almost) ceiling, with some fine pieces, all of them for sale. A smaller room displayed video art.

    A nice local gallery, was nice to finally visit as it's always closed when I've visited the park in the past. The space is fairly small, 1 large room next to a much smaller room. There is a nice garden space in the back of you'd like a sit and a mini shop.

    The galleries generally have a good art collection. The entry is free. COVID measures are in place.😷 The entrance and gallery is wheelchair accessibleβ™Ώ It is a small art gallery inside the Southwark park. There are toilets and cafe just outside the gallery. They accept donations and also have a small shop inside selling local art goodies.

    My local Gallery and how lucky that it is. Shows a range of work and varying exhibitions, runs programmes for all sorts of groups and offers space for people to express their creativity. So lucky that this exists in the park πŸ’•

    Very good park cafe. Burger is enormous. Varied menu and decent tea and coffee

  • 3/5 Michael J. 1 year ago on Google
    Park is great, the cafe is great also good choice of menu, and child friendly. Only draw back, in my opinion is its a bit pricey. If you can live with that, go.
