Fashion and Textile Museum London

A chic museum

""Fashion and Textile Museum" London makes museum visits a colourful affair. Even if your mother still dresses, you this place is still worth a strut!"

Who says museums have to be grey and drab affairs? At the Fashion and Textile Museum, your visit will be full of colour.

While fashionistas will be at home here, all visitors (no matter what your fashion sense) will learn something new. Exhibitions change very quickly, which makes repeat visits a must. Often these exhibitions take a different slant when it comes to fashion - some tackle a specific historic angle while others will highlight a certain design technique.

Some displays focus on well-known designers. However there are plenty of displays where the designer is not known (this is especially true for exhibitions based on different cultures or periods in history).

Along with the educational exhibitions, there are plenty of opportunities to learn a bit more about fashion through the museum's numerous talks and events. Even if your mother still dresses you (don't worry, we won't tell anyone) this Fashion and Textile Museum is worth a strut!

The Hill Garden and Pergola

A tranquil oasis

The gardens and pergola are open to the public and are a great spot for a walk or a peaceful afternoon with a good book in hand while lying on the grass.

Di Lieto

A true Neopolitan family deli

From focaccia to pasta, coffee to cake, this one-stop shop is as much a place to buy your brew and bread as it is to have a lunchtime bite of pasta...

Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens

Vauxhall's chill space

Birds sing while trains rumble along atop the parallel railway arches, old men play boule in the shade and planes skim overhead on approach to Heathrow.

The Black Dog

Park pub perfection

Of all the reasons why you have to check out this idyllic boozer, perhaps the most important is that this is the home of the finest scotch egg in London.

The Crown & Cushion

Made like they used to

The unassuming, retro signage outside amidst the noise & din of Waterloo might pull you in, but what makes you stay is the genuine town tavern feel inside.

Dalston Eastern Curve Garden

A tiny urban jungle

Built back in 2010 on the site of a disused railway line, it’s a local secret: a quiet, forest-like space to retreat to when city life becomes overwhelming.
