South London Gallery
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Weekday mornings are quietest, letting you enjoy the gallery and garden without crowds. Check the exhibition calendar before visiting, since shows change every couple of months and some are worth more time than others.
Conseils budget
Entry to all exhibitions is completely free, no booking required for most shows. Special events and artist talks sometimes charge a small fee, but you can often catch free Friday evening openings with the artists themselves.

À propos
Faits rapides: Des expositions gratuites d'art contemporain sont renouvelées environ six fois par an dans un bâtiment victorien converti qui accueille des spectacles depuis 1891. La salle de conférences d'origine de la galerie conserve encore ses vastes bancs en chêne des années 1890, donnant aux présentations white-cube un décor résolument d'époque.
Points forts: Le jardin à l'arrière dissimule une folie en brique de deux étages appelée l'O'Flynn Building, si soigneusement nichée entre les arbres que la plupart des visiteurs passent devant sans la voir. Commandée par le mécène de la galerie en 2003, ce deuxième lieu secret accueille des artistes émergents et vous permet de jeter un coup d'œil dans un atelier d'artiste en activité à l'étage.
Conseils d'initiés
- Walk through to the back garden, a peaceful walled courtyard that many visitors never realize exists on the other side of the gallery.
- Look for the O'Flynn Building outside in the garden, a separate contemporary space that hosts smaller, more experimental shows.
- The gallery sits in Peckham Road's gentrified stretch, so pair your visit with a walk along the nearby cafes and the famous Peckham Levels rooftop.
- Check the website before visiting because closing happens during between-exhibition installation weeks, which can last several days.
