My central London venue in Holborn, London, WC1
October Gallery, 24 Old Gloucester St, London WC1N 3AL
October Gallery
Participants seem to love this tucked away venue. It’s a little oasis with a garden courtyard (the picture was taken in February), great food from the Café by Amy (hopefully great Asian dishes) at lunchtimes and handy for the tube. Often there are fascinating exhibitions from artists mostly from Africa in the café. There’s also an outside public gym in the park just next door if you want get ripped! (I haven’t used it yet)
What they say…
October Gallery has been instrumental in bringing to worldwide attention many of the world's leading international artists, including El Anatsui, Rachid Koraïchi, Romuald Hazoumè, Nnenna Okore, Laila Shawa and Kenji Yoshida. The Gallery promotes the Transvangarde, the very best in contemporary art from around the planet, as well as maintaining a cultural hub in central London for poets, writers, intellectuals and artists, and hosts talks, performances and seminars, see www.octobergallery.co.uk/events”

Lunch
There is a great café at the October Gallery. And there are other cafes nearby if you prefer. When the weather is good, people often bring their own food and eat it in the courtyard.
