basically a running list on my phone of every gallery i've wandered into on a break or blagged my way into a private view — mix of massive white cube energy and tiny peckham spaces that feel like someone's front room but better. half these i've cried in a bit if i'm honest. add your own PVs to the list bc the wine's always free and that's reason enough

2South London Gallery————
