Art galleries in east and south-east London reopened last Monday and whether an art-lover or not quite, this list will spark some creativity, provide a great day out and make a great addition to Instagram posts.
To be on the safe side, book a spot at the more popular galleries, even for the free exhibitions as spaces are limited to ensure covid compliance and social distancing.
Student Sophia McDonell, who has been back visiting galleries, told East London Lines: “It’s so nice to be back out seeing art and it really serves as a reminder that people are still out there creating through all of this. They don’t feel too busy and it’s run really effectively with social distancing so you definitely feel quite safe.”
