Your Guide to Hiring Galleries in London
Home to such institutions as Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery, London is famous for its eclectic art scene. However, there’s more to London art than just well-known gallery spaces. The uniqueness of its art scene also comes from smaller, alternative art galleries, which create trends that hugely influence the international art community. All that buzz happens mostly in west London, on the vibrant streets of Soho, in hipster Shoreditch spaces and in alternative Brick Lane areas.
With that being said, your gallery venue hire options are wider than just one district. Many art events take place in picturesque Notting Hill or even further from the centre, such as in Hackney. A perfect example is the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which is located on the South Bank of the Thames.
Have a look at our gallery venues – we’re sure you’ll find something that will catch your eye.
What Kinds Of Events Can You Hold At A Gallery Venue?
- Art exhibitions - This one seems obvious, but it offers many creative opportunities. Hiring a blank canvas space makes organising an event similar to creating a work of art. The colour palette, style and layout are entirely up to you. When it comes to art exhibitions, finding the right gallery to hire is crucial. It’s even nicer when the neighbourhood suits the mood of your show. There are a lot of art exhibition venues in the alternative districts of London that are just perfect for contemporary art exhibitions.
- Private parties - Very often art galleries are used for corporate drinks and receptions. These spaces give you a lot of artistic freedom. Why not stand out from the crowd and organise a wedding in a gallery? One perfect venue for such events is the Saatchi Gallery. It has a lot of available rooms that can also be hired for product launches, conferences and many other purposes.
- Book launch - Gallery spaces are an excellent option for launching your latest creative work. A bookstore seems an obvious choice for such an event, but sometimes it’s worth thinking outside the box. For example, if your book is about East Africa, how about collaborating with a photographer who’s been shooting landscapes in Kenya and Tanzania? You can combine your book launch with their photography exhibition in order to generate more buzz around your event. Hosting your book launch in a gallery, like The Mosaic Rooms, will make even more sense if your book is art-related. Maybe you’ll even be able to have some of the artists’ works exhibited in the same room? In London everything’s possible!
- Pop-up events - Over the past few years, pop-up events have been taking London by storm. The variety of pop-up festivals, stores, bars and restaurants is so huge that it’s nearly impossible to list them all. An art gallery might be just right for your planned pop-up exhibition.
Top Gallery Types for Hire in London
We suggest you check out Mayfair Gallery Space, which has gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows which provide plenty of natural light. It might also be an excellent venue for photo shoots.
Another fantastic option is The Stables, a lovely gallery venue in Covent Garden. This location includes track lighting throughout, which might make it the ideal setting for an evening event.
The Pop-Up Gallery in East London is also a very unique venue. It is a modern 21st-century venue with brick walls and a black shiny floor that offers a variety of creative opportunities.
If you choose The Wohl Room at The National Gallery in London for your next occasion, it may truly steal your breath away. This incredibly gorgeous venue is the National Gallery's largest event space. The beautiful Venetian Renaissance paintings all around this space can be enjoyed by up to 310 sitting guests. A night of culture and fine dining will undoubtedly be one you and your guests will never forget.
