The Tate Modern, of course, dominates among the galleries along London’s cultural hotspot, the Southbank Centre. However, we suggest that you stop and look again next time you walk along it and pause to take in the Hayward Gallery.

Unlike its larger neighbour, the Hayward does not host a permanent collection. Instead, it is dedicated to the provision of contemporary art of the very highest quality. Keep a close eye on its website, therefore, for information on the some of the hottest art displays visiting London. Other than the art itself, we love visiting the Hayward for the access it provides you to its two concrete balconies – free from surrounding buildings, they jut out from the gallery space, allowing you peace and quiet in which to soak up beautiful views spanning from Canary Wharf down to the Houses of Parliament and beyond.
