š¬š§ Cromwell Place Art Space Part 1š
š«Tucked away in South Kensington (just a stone's throw from the V&A), this art hub completely shattered my expectations. What I assumed would be another generic gallery cluster Ć la Frieze turned out to be a jaw-dropping architectural gemāwith 4-5 floors of curated magic across a dozen rooms and studios. From the moment I stepped into the ground floor lobby (hello, marble staircases and soaring ceilings!), every corner delivered visual feastsāboth in the artworks and the 19th-century townhouse architecture itself. Bonus: Their cafĆ© served surprisingly decent flat whites amidst the finery. ā š Plot Twist: Like Londonās most ephemeral performances, this space has already closed its doorsāmaking these photos bittersweet souvenirs. (Yes, I went back multiple timesāPart 2 coming soon with more visuals!) Why It Mattered: ⢠Hidden artist studios you could peek into ⢠Rotating exhibitions from emerging global talents ⢠That one velvet-walled reading room with art books ⢠The courtyard garden where ideas bloomed #ExhibitionDiary #LondonSpaces #ContemporaryArt #LondonGalleries #SouthKensington #ArtArchitecture
