Tate Modern Kitchen & Bar
Nothing quite like sitting down with a cold, crisp glass of wine after a stroll along the south bank. The bar on the 6th floor of Tate Modern also comes with one of the best views in town AND the added benefit of supporting a fantastic arts institution. Later weekend opening times make this a great place to watch the sunset.Read more

Evelyn De Morgan: The Modern Painter in Victorian London
One of the most remarkable artists of her generation, Evelyn De Morgan, is returning to Guildhall Art Gallery this year in a major exhibition that premieres two newly restored artworks. In collaboration with the De Morgan Foundation, Guildhall Art Gallery will present ‘Evelyn De Morgan: The Modern Painter in Victorian London’, from 4 April 2025 to celebrate the work of an extraordinary artist who flew in the face of convention. While exhibiting her paintings in London, a selection of Evelyn De Morgan’s work was included in a ‘Collection of the British School who Have Flourished during Her Majesty's reign’ at Guildhall Art Gallery in 1897. More recently, one of her paintings was featured in the gallery’s ‘Enchanted Interior’ exhibition in 2020. Evelyn De Morgan’s richly coloured canvases, featuring beautifully draped figures laden with messages of feminism, spirituality, and the rejection of war and material wealth, won her many high-profile admirers, including Oscar Wilde, Sir Charles Dilke MP, and the Pre-Raphaelite painter, William Holman Hunt.Read more
