Periodo migliore per visitare
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.
Consigli per il 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.

Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Mostre d'arte contemporanea gratuite ruotano circa sei volte l'anno in un edificio vittoriano riconvertito che ospita esposizioni dal 1891. L'originale aula magna della galleria conserva ancora le sue vaste panche in quercia degli anni 1890, offrendo alle esposizioni white-cube uno sfondo decisamente d'altri tempi.
Punti salienti: Il giardino sul retro nasconde una folle in mattoni a due piani chiamata O'Flynn Building, nascosta così accuratamente tra gli alberi che la maggior parte dei visitatori le passa davanti senza notarla. Commissionata dal mecenate della galleria nel 2003, questa seconda sede segreta ospita artisti emergenti e ti permette di sbirciare in uno studio d'artista attivo al piano superiore.
Consigli da insider
- 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.
