Staying next to South London Gallery & Café (a wonderful combination: breakfasts here are especially highly recommended!), ART in the district of Camberwell, South East London is literally on our every doorstep.
I whirl around like an autumn leaf dancing through streets, dashing across lanes, taking turns and – settling down again, for instance at House Gallery & Cafe. Reading a book I picked up in an East London bookstore the day before (“Why People Photograph” by Robert Adams: Nice title, great food for thought!), I still muse at the following quote contained therein: Smart is okay, but lucky is better.
And lucky I was that day! Come and trace South East London Art with me!
The Arts are omnipresent here and literally carved in stone – leading to a blogging site, of course !
Passing the University of the Arts College at literally two steps from where we are staying …
… I look up at a mighty blue, clear sky perfect for new explorations under the (special light of the autumn) sun. As with many other museums, a visit to South London Gallery is FREE!
At House Gallery & Cafe, I discover a rather unusual exhibition: “Artists Who Are Waiters”.
Check out the gallery downstairs, but don’t miss their great Eggs Benedict or Muesli, Yoghurt & Fresh Fruit for breakfast …
… leading to Artists Who Are Waiters! Great painting, inspiring graphic art and some fine pieces of writing to be found here.
Always a nice welcome: Follow the Team @70HouseGallery on Twitter: http://www.house-gallery.co.uk
Halloween makes for art to light up even an ordinary street pub window.
Can coloured facades be called art, too? Modern houses (do exist!) in South East London.
However, as a British nostalgic, I opt for the latter: Traditional brick houses appear beautifully crafted here.
Finally, my favourite of all day: Street Art near Brixton Village in South East London. Steal a fleeting kiss from the city you love!
