White Cube Bermondsey

What is it?

White Cube Bermondsey is London’s ultimate mega-gallery. The one that started it all. White Cube brought us Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and loads of other YBAs. And after moving into its huge south London space a few years ago, it became one of the first museum-quality commercial galleries in the world. Seriously impressive.

Why go?

White Cube strives to make small gallery exhibitions feel like shows at massive institutions. Their Tracey Emin, Andreas Gursky and Anselm Kiefer shows are worthy of any Tate or RA. 

Don’t miss:

There’s no permanent collection at White Cube, so it’s the regularly changing exhibitions that make a visit worthwhile. But a lot of shows will also have events and talks programmes, so keep an eye on the website for those. 

When to visit :

Open Tue-Sat, 10am-6pm, Sun noon-6pm. Free.

Time Out tip:

In our league of ‘best art gallery toilets’, White Cube comes pretty near the top. Lovely bogs, seriously.
