basically my whole student loan goes on train fares to go look at paintings and then cry in the gift shop (no regrets). these are the ones i keep going back to - some unreal, some a bit much, all worth the schlep. half of this list i've definitely used as an excuse to avoid doing actual coursework

Galleries that get me — 5 items
Name	Address	City	My take
1South London Gallery	65 Peckham Road	London	literally next door to uni so i've no excuse not to go - free, always something weird and good on, sometimes i just sit in the garden instead (don't tell my tutor)
2Dulwich Picture Gallery	Gallery Road	London	the light in here is unreal, properly unreal - old master paintings and i'm just there with my sketchbook not understanding half of what i'm looking at but loving it anyway
3Horniman Museum and Gardens	100 London Road	London	the walrus (you'll know it when you see it) - also free, also has a garden, also a bit of a trek from Camberwell but worth it honestly
4Tate Modern	Bankside	London	a bit much if i'm honest - the Turbine Hall makes me feel very small (in a good way??) but it gets rammed with tourists and i end up just wanting a sit down
5Camden Arts Centre	Arkwright Road	London	smaller, quieter, bit of a journey from south london but the shows are always a bit left-field in the best way - plus decent café for the obligatory tea
