There is a small bar here that you can grab a drink while you walk around, they take credit cards.

It is a sketchy neighborhood and the buses to get here are pretty rundown.

Located in a gated area with working factories, micro breweries and other commercial establishments. Stroll through, it's free and they play great tunes throughout as you enjoy the neon art. Enjoy some coffee, drinks and snacks at their cafe. The surrounding area has a large number fabulous and authentic global ethnic cuisine options and apparently the longest outdoor street market in London. The William Morris childhood Home and his Museum is also nearby so the area, is free and interesting. Overall it's a great day trip less than 45 minutes tube ride from London.

We dropped by on Saturday afternoon and apart from the lovely staff we had the place to ourselves. This struck me as being quite strange given that we had passed hordes of people at the bottom of the street queuing to get into the Abercrombie and Fitch store; strange times we live in. There are two exhibition spaces in this modern building situated in the heart of Mayfair with an open plan office space in between. The gallery is home to a range of contemporary artists and there is usually something of interest on show. The Rubell show left me quite giddy and I would recommend that you try to drop by before it ends on 5 March. In the front room you have a life sized wax model of Prince William mounted off centre on a plinth. The idea is that you step on up, put your arm through his, and slip your finger into the engagement ring pinned onto his suit jacket. Just brilliant: lots of fun and a weird riff on the whole royalty, Prince Charming thing. In the back room it gets even better with the "drinking paintings" which took some inspiration from the official engagement picture of William and Kate (I think the size of the canvas matches that of the picture behind them in the photograph). Each raw canvas has a brass spigot protruding from it and to one side there is a plastic cup dispenser and the idea is that you pour yourself a drink. This action gradually "paints" the canvas with a series of splashes and drips. This Saturday I enjoyed a good sized nip of Sloe Gin, Irish Whiskey and a fine Rum. This is my kind of modern art and I will be popping back next week.

I have decided not to let my disappointed high expectations sway my vote and have decided to go with 3 stars instead of 2. There are two sections to the gallery one open to the public one across the street by appointment only. But you don't really need to go in because it is set up to be viewed from outside and is a unique window display. The gallery does display insightful and challenging work, and exhibits at Freeze Art Fair. I just didn't manage to go one a day that coincided with the reputation of the gallery.

I have walked past this gallery many times, but I had never really taken the time to see what they…read morehad to offer. As I wet in I wasn't surprised, it is just not the kind of art I can truly appreciate and enjoy. However, I can understand why they might be very successful in more commercial arenas. Such as, taking up commissions to decorate the interiors of an office building, or art of government institutions, or banks, or any of the sort. I wouldn't personally pay £3,000 for a painting of the sea, which was what Rebecca Lardner proposed with her work 'Coastal Life'. Nevertheless, 'To the Limit' by James Blinkhorn touched on a more resonant matter; the sprawl of urbanisation, traffic, air pollution, some in black and one which were quite striking. The space it self is not big and you may get distracted from some black columns in the outside structure of the gallery, takes a bit away from the work. Even so, it never hurts to have a look at other people's art regardless of whether I personally like it or not, they must be doing something right if a gallery is willing to have their work for sale.

If you are not careful, you'll walk right by it, and you will really miss out! Admission is free and when you walk in you feel like you've stumbled across an art lover's paradise. If you like original works of art and like supporting up and coming artist; this is the place to go. I love art and dream of buying a piece for a song only for the artist to reach the pinnacles of fame and the value of the work to go through the roof. For me art is an investment, but don't get me wrong, I also love art for art's sake. I love how a piece of art can pull a room together or bring light into a dark space. I love works that can instantly lift your mood. That is the beauty of art! The Angel Art Market is the perfect place to find that piece you've been looking for. There are dozens of artist present and it's not just paintingz. There are photographs, sculptures, jewellery and every other form of artistic expression that can be bought and displayed. I love the space the work is housed in because it is open and allows you to soak it all in. I saw several pieces and am thinking of making some Christmas gifts and a few others I'd like to add to my personal collection.

They provide audioguides if you wish to use one, but I mostly just read the available signage. I enjoy fashion history, so I found the museum to be quite interesting and of course all of the fans were beautiful. Unfortunately, The Orangery was closed when I visited. They do not serve tea every day, which was a bit disappointing. Be sure to check the website before you visit to make sure they are open if you are hoping to enjoy tea here. The staff in this museum are all very lovely and I had a really enjoyable chat with a few of the staff members. If you enjoy art or fashion, this is a good place to stop if you have a bit of extra time in Greenwich. I wouldn't go out of my way to come all the way out here, but it is a nice complement to the other sights in Greenwich. Admission is only a couple of pounds, so if you need to fill a bit of time, it is worth the stop.

The afternoon tea service was wonderful - it came with a pot of tea. scones, clotted cream, jelly, carrot cake, and choice of lemon drizzle or salted caramel brownie, It is also served in a beautifully decorated room with a garden view. The museum was an added treat and it was fun to explore their fan collection which spans the globe and covers different time periods. One point to note is that you do need to buy an admission ticket to the museum to enjoy their tea service menu but it's worth it. Highly recommend!
