Ever since visiting the exhibition space, a few years ago, I don’t think I have ever missed one single show. It is one of the best exhibition spaces for contemporary art in London, in my opinion. The scale and the light feel right. The environment is not too overwhelming and not too small. In addition, the bookshop has a good selection of catalogues, art books and magazines.

I'm waiting for a vegetarian-friendly event to get the full dining experience, but in the meantime there's wine!

Get on the list for tickets and surprise someone who will appreciate the 'village of books' upstairs in particular.

Amazing small plates restaurant near Newington Green in a old car showroom. 

Rochelle Canteen, established in 2004 by Melanie Arnold and Margot Henderson, is housed in the converted bike shed of the old Rochelle School. Rochelle Canteen is one of my favourite restaurants in London for breakfast, lunch and/ or dinner.
