A running list of places I duck into between chapters, mostly south of Hoe Street or a short Overground hop away (I tell myself it's research, my editor tells me it's a Tuesday afternoon problem) — small spaces I trust, neon temples I can't explain to visitors properly, and the odd big institution I still queue for like it's new. Updated whenever I finish a proof early.

Gallery days in E17 and beyond — 5 items
Name	Address	City	Vibe	My take
1William Morris Gallery	Lloyd Park, Forest Road, Walthamstow, London E17 4PP	London	Georgian house turned Arts and Crafts shrine, free and unhurried	My actual local, ten minutes from Orford Road on foot, go on a weekday when the tea room terrace is quiet and nobody's fighting you for the wallpaper archive.
2God's Own Junkyard	—	—	—	—
3Autograph	Rivington Place, London EC2A 3BA	London	Photography and identity, rotating shows that actually make you stand still	Small enough to see properly on a lunch break, pair it with a wander round Shoreditch after if you've got the afternoon spare.
4Whitechapel Gallery	77-82 Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7QX	London	East End institution with a history of launching careers before anyone else noticed	Jump on the Overground to Liverpool Street and walk it off, their free displays are worth the detour even when the ticketed show isn't your thing.
5Drawing Room	No. 1 Rich Estate, 10 Milkwood Road, London SE24 0JF	London	Entirely devoted to drawing, which sounds narrow until you're inside it	Quiet, unpretentious, the kind of place where a volunteer will actually talk to you about the work if you let them, allow a proper hour.
