7 Museums in East End / East London That You Shouldn't Miss
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

A 16th century house in Hackney - you're kidding right? Absolute gem of a place, with a massive back story to the initial makings of the village of Hackney. Must see and do asap.

Visited last year during the daytime and made sure to book in good time for the evening Christmas opening. Beautifully decorated - so much detail everywhere. I was glad that we had visited previously though as it is so dark inside that you would miss things if you hadn't seen it already I think. Only a few people allowed in at a time as it is so small so you must book ahead to make sure you can get in. No photographs allowed as it would spoil the atmosphere inside. Well worth a visit - fascinating!

The main event here is the revival of Radical Figures occupying the largest two ground floor and two first floor visions. But as a free alternative there are four other exhibitions across the gallery’s other spaces. On the ground floor Carlos Bunga’s strange warehouse world of ladders, upside down chairs, antique mirrors, pots and irons. A sort of sculptural version of MIchael Craig-Martin without the neon or the colour for that matter. In the theatre Rachel Pimms’s Plates combining landscapes from Northern Ireland and Zimbabwe. Upstairs a reprise of a selection of mainly Spanish painting and photography by one Veronica Berber Bicecci. Most impressive for me was the revival of an exhibition of paintings by artists featured in The Return of The Spirit in Painting at the RA in 1981. Only five artists represented but what stunning paintings, all masterpieces in their own right from the likes of Bruce McLean, Julian Schnabel, Mimmo Paladino and even a Georg Baselitz. Had there been an exhibition fee for all five exhibitions would have been worth the price for this group of paintings alone. Some useful archival material is available about the original exhibition.
