South London Gallery

On this site for over a century, the SLG became one of the main showcases for the emerging Young British Artists in the 1990s. Still one of the capital's foremost contemporary art venues, the gallery has exhibited work by Gilbert & George, Anselm Kiefer and Gavin Turk. An expansion of the Peckham site into adjacent derelict buildings is underway and visitors can look forward to new exhibition spaces, a garden and café. In the meantime, the existing gallery is open and its shows of modern British and international art is well worth a visit.
