South London Gallery, Art museum in Peckham Road, London, United Kingdom.
South London Gallery occupies a Grade II-listed building and spreads across two locations on Peckham Road, where exhibition spaces display contemporary art from different periods and styles. The spaces are designed to be open and welcoming, inviting visitors to explore various art forms and creative approaches.
The gallery was founded in 1891 with the goal of bringing art education to South London residents. Over the decades it has evolved into a major venue for contemporary art while remaining committed to its original mission of serving the local community.
The gallery presents works by contemporary artists from around the world and regularly hosts events where visitors can speak directly with creators. These encounters connect the local community with international artistic perspectives in immediate, tangible ways.
The venue opens Tuesday through Sunday, with extended evening hours on Wednesdays if you prefer to visit after work. Entry is free for all visitors, making it easy to return as often as you like and explore at your own pace.
The venue operates an interactive map project where residents contribute personal stories and historical memories of the South London area. This living archive continues to grow and offers visitors a deeper understanding of how the community experiences and remembers its own place.
