Art & Culture

The Southbank is a very arty and trendy area of London with the Royal Festival Hall and the Queen Elizabeth Hall both in South Bank Centre. Just a stones throw away is the famous Shakespeares Globe and National Theater.

There's a thriving art scene with the Tate Modern, Hayward Gallery and not far away the Tate Britain. Other exciting art galleries are the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square and the Royal Academy of Arts in Piccadilly.

Theatre-land

Covent Garden is the center of theatre-land and also where the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet companies are based alongside the English National Opera.

Museums

The British Museum is the most famous of all museums in London but there are many more. The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum and the Sherlock Holmes Museum are just some of the many exciting London museums.

Art & Culture Venues

Popular central London venues are the Barbican Centre and the Royal Albert Hall.

Festivals

London hosts a large number of pop concerts and festivals throughout the year and the newly built 02 center and Wembley are where many of the large concerts are held.

London wouldn't be complete without the Proms which are held at the Royal Albert Hall and also in Hyde Park alongside many other concerts throughout the year.

A relative newcomer to London and now in its 4th year is the Open Rehearsal program which takes place across London during September. Londoners and visitors to London can go behind the scenes of London's most exciting performing arts and cultural organisations and this year the program will also include visual arts, museums and open studios events.
