The Bankside Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in London dedicated to painting and printmaking and we think it’s something of an underrated gem.
Located on the Thames Path next to the Tate Modern, the small gallery offers an engaging programme of free art exhibitions showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists.

Running until the 15th March 2026, the Royal Watercolour Society (RWS) Open has got some stunning work on offer, including our favourite, ‘Noor’ by Linda Derksen (below).
