Bankside Gallery

Opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980, Bankside is an educational charity, situated on the Thames Path just along from Tate Modern.

The members of these societies follow a 200-year-old tradition of being elected by their peers.

The gallery houses changing exhibitions of contemporary watercolours and prints, which are accompanied by special events including artists' talks and tours.

A full education programme covering the theory and practice of art is organised every year.

Bankside Gallery is open daily during exhibitions, from 11am to 6pm.
