Now then fine folks. Ever been faced with that equally daunting and delightful task of showing that someone special a good time in London? So have we. Ever rolled your eyes, scratched your temple and come up short? Welcome aboard.
We’ve tried, we’ve failed and this much we’ve learned. These are the findings from a mission to uncover London’s great little places. A collection of thoughts on the best in London’s unexpected or special little venues and activities. Somewhere or something that’s a talking point in itself. Charming and individual is the order of the day. Unusual, strange even, off the beaten track and won’t be forgotten.
We invite you to share your discoveries and your expeditions, and we’ll share ours. Never again shall a fair maiden be treated to an American Hot at Pizza Express. Not on our watch.
We’d love to hear from aspiring administrators, repressed romeos and anyone else for that matter, so do get in touch at team@greatlittleplace.com And follow us for more inspiration on Twitter: http://twitter.com/gr8littleplace.
The Saatchi Gallery has always aimed to provide an innovative forum for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists or by established international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK.
The audience for exhibitions of contemporary art has increased widely during the last ten years as general awareness and interest in contemporary art has developed in Britain.
When The Saatchi Gallery first opened twenty years ago it was only those people who had a dedicated interest in contemporary art who sought out the gallery to see work by new artists. The audience, however, built steadily over the years and the gallery now receives over 600,000 visitors a year, and over 1,000 schools have organised student visits.
