well worth the flight across the Atlantic for such stellar food. wish they delivered to NYC.
Great food, great value, great setting and really friendly staff.
Lovely gallery with a gorgeous, tranquil garden. Food feels like home and the atmosphere is great. Glad I discovered this gem such a central location.
Well curated. Range of notable international artists exhibited with accompanying literature and publications. Back catalogue of exhibitions on line which sometimes return if you missed them. welcoming environment with lovely courtyard garden. Refreshment sometimes available.
Brilliant little gallery that shows the work of artists from around the world with a strong focus on contemporary African artists. Staff are supper friendly and always knowledgeable and willing to discuss the works. Lovely outside space too where you can take time to relax and enjoy the urban green space and the toilets are among the cleanest, well kept I have come across (and full of plants too) 😄. There is a small library of books for purchase and always a good leaflet to accompany the show giving some background info. Not sure if the gallery is fully accessible as there are steps to the front but there may well be another access point so do check. Some good pubs and restaurants nearby. Excellent show on at the moment so well worth a visit.
I have to confess my visit to October Gallery was not to see the gallery but to attend the launch party for Richard Morton Jack's new biography of Nick Drake, which all music lovers should buy immediately! The setting was charming, the catering was excellent and the little courtyard at the back is a real gem. I may go back on an ordinary day!
Small gallery with interesting exhibitions and a lovely courtyard at the back
I booked the upstairs venue for my book launch, and it couldn't have gone better. It's a lovely space: was perfect for 60 - 70 guests with room for food tables, some room still for milling around. Pavel and the other staff were friendly and welcoming, and I'm definitely going to come back and sit in the beautiful little garden in the summer. I would definitely recommend this place for the price and would be glad to work with Pavel and his staff again. Thanks!
This is an oasis in London. Always a wonderful artshow in progress. If the cafe is open go and have a lunch and enjoy the botanical garden in the central courtyard!!
You can also rent spaces here!
We visited the charming little October Gallery garden as part of the Open Garden Squares Weekend. While we were there, we also checked out the "Fragile Responsibility" exhibition by Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga's which was very interesting. A great place for anyone interested in contemporary international art.
I love where the gallery is situated, its architecture, garden and café. The latest small Sokari Douglas Camp exhibition was amazing. It is also very well organised for school children to spend their art classes. I trully recommend it. Definitely coming back :D
A Hidden Gem!
I visited the gallery to view the Hassan Massoudy exibition. Beautfully curated, it was a real testament to his talent.
The gallery was compact, but still had a pleasant sense of spaciousness. Comfortable temperature & relaxed, unhurried atmosphere, the staff were both friendly & engaging. I enjoyed an informative discussion on Massoudy with a lovely member of staff.
The toilet was a real surprise- almost Victorian in style & filled with beautiful plants!
The whole experience at the October Gallery was very positive. I can't wait to return for the new exibition & sample cuisine at the restaurant!
Do not miss this lovely gallery!
