Beak Street’s finest: The Riflemaker. Unsurprisingly enough, it hasn’t changed its Soho location since the last review. It has changed the artwork on display in the main room on the ground floor though. Daniela Schönbächler’s exhibition is, to be frank, a bit hit and miss. …
We were unprepared for the sheer expansiveness of the Brunswick Gallery, set beneath Bloomsbury’s Brunswick Centre, north of Holborn. It’s a vast room with high ceilings underneath the Centre. Divination, a travelling group show, exhibited in artist run spaces has arrived in London via Hamburg …
Fashion as Art, ay. It’s all over London at the moment. You can see The Supremes’ costumes at the V&A; fashion meets architecture at Somerset House; and Viktor and Rolf’s crazy creations are turning heads at the Barbican. Trouble is, they’re all a bit flamboyant …
We love our Flickr friends, we really do. Where would we be without our obliging and outrageously talented photographer friends happy to share their work with us in the Londonist Flickr pool and be sent off on snap happy adventures once in a while? How …
The British Library isn’t always so good at promoting their free exhibition space, but they do tend to lay on something special for those who happen to wander in. Make a point of doing so for this summer’s exhibit, The Ramayana: Love and Valour in …

Last night, we attended the launch of Darwin 200 at the Natural History Museum. If he was still alive, Charles Darwin would be an actual living legend, due his 200th birthday on 12 February 2009. Clearly he’s dead but that’s no excuse not to have …
Earth shattering revelation of the day: Met Commissioner says parents key to bringing up children who don’t carry weapons. Yep, apparently so. Unlikely news of the day: Hayward Gallery goes psycho. We’ll be there later this week. Motoring news of the day: Lorries park up …
Vyner Street is like a scruffy version of Cork Street set in the tubeless expanse of Hackney. Well, replace the expensive established artists, with the up and coming avant guard and replace the suited rich art lovers at the private views, with eccentrics, artists, and …
