The Queen's Gallery London

Art fit for a Queen

Peter from London

About me I’m an American guy living and loving London. I moved here to study but fell in love with the city and stayed. Aside from exploring new corners of the city, I enjoy theatre, exploring second-hand bookshops, rugby (and a bit of Quidditch). I am a keen traveller (42 countries and counting). However, no matter what exotic locale I am visiting, after a few days...
""The Queen's Gallery" in London is the Queen's very own collection of art! The best part? Since very few tourists know about it, you will feel like a king!"

Ever wondered what works of art the Queen owns? You don't have to wait for a personal invitation from Liz herself. Instead you can wander the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace and see for yourself!

Being Queen has its privileges. Not only do you get to wear a crown, you also have access to many priceless works of art. Visiting the Queen's Gallery will give any art lover a chance to enjoy getting to know numerous paintings and drawings. Since few tourists know of this place, you won't have to jostle to view each painting. How very royal! And unlike many museums, the audio guide is included in the admission price. That means you'll get much more from your visit.

The Queen's Gallery is also worth seeing for the surroundings itself. Again, many of us will never be invited to have tea at Buckingham Palace, but for the price of admission, you can enter part of the palace and share the artistic treasures that the Queen enjoys.

London Spotter Peter

About me I’m an American guy living and loving London. I moved here to study but fell in love with the city and stayed. Aside from exploring new corners of the city, I enjoy theatre, exploring second-hand bookshops, rugby (and a bit of Quidditch). I am a keen traveller (42 countries and counting). However, no matter what exotic locale I am visiting, after a few days I long to be back in London to walk amongst its parks, browse its bookshelves and eat its eclectic foods. Why London? Growing up in the US, London always seemed like a fantasy city...

Craft Metropolis, Brixton

Small alley, big vibes

Blink and you’ll miss it. This private little Loughborough Junction spot is well hidden, down a single-file alley off the otherwise unremarkable Hinton Rd.

The Tiger

Good times after dark

The Tiger plays by its own rules though, staying open until three on the weekends meaning you can call it a night when you actually want to.

The Clarendon Arms

Cherish, don't change

Inside are people that know each other, who have helped keep their boozer free from the relentless march of gentrification while so many others failed.
