Exploring the numerous art galleries of London’s East End
The East End of London, once known as the run-down, economically deprived area of the capital, has experienced some significant regeneration in recent years, particularly in regards to the Olympic development at Stratford for next year’s games. Some of the most popular galleries in the East End include Rivington Place, situated in the artsy area of Shoreditch. It encapsulates an £8 million building, which became the first ’newly-built'public space in the city since the opening of the Hayward in 1968. It is shared by Autograph ABP and Iniva and is committed to expressing diverse views of contemporary topics in art and photography.
Meanwhile, the Whitechapel gallery, which was founded 110 years ago, attracts large numbers of visitors and is a pioneer of the East London art scene. The White Cube is also another favourite with tourists and Londoners alike and the Hoxton Gallery exhibits famous works by Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and the Chapman Brothers. The Wilkinson represents 31 artists and features a large 560 metre squared space on two floors. It was the first purpose built art gallery in the E2 postcode area and used to be a factory. The Fred, London is also another gallery that was converted from a factory in 2005. Here, visitors can enjoy exhibitions of famous international artists, as well as emerging artists.
Entry is usually free for most exhibitions (and indeed for the majority of London’s great museums, according to paid surveys uk!) which means people visiting London needn’t large amounts of cash in order to make the most of their time here.
