After my first visit back in 3-4 years ago,I made my way back to Camden Art Centre today   The last time I visited an art gallery was in Barcelona this past Spring, so it felt wonderful to dive back into the vibrant art scene right here in my neighbourhood.   The current exhibition, “All Rendered Truth” by Lonnie Holley, was a standout experience. Holley’s work is deeply evocative, blending raw emotion with intricate storytelling. His paintings are rich with texture and colour, each one telling a unique story that draws you in and makes you reflect. The visual/video art was even more captivating, combining powerful imagery with thought-provoking themes. It’s an exhibition that lingers in your mind long after you leave the gallery.   Post-exhibition, the staff kindly asked me to fill out a survey, and in return, I got a coupon for a free hot drink at their lovely café.  I remembered the café and garden from my last visit, and they’re still as charming as ever. It’s clear why so many locals come here for a peaceful moment.  It felt wonderful to reconnect with art so close to home. If you haven’t been in a while, I highly recommend a visit!

Love this place for its architecture, exhibitions, shop and most of all lovely cafe with garden being hidden green, quiet oasis in the middle of busy Finchley Road. Always worth coming to sit there, enjoy delicious coffee, cake, cup of tea or whatever one's fancy.

This place is fantastic! They always have an excellent selection of art pieces. A serene and flourishing garden area and the coffee shop have delicious snack options.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Very good contemporary art gallery about 10 minutes walk from Hampstead Underground Station. The building the Centre occupies was opened in 1897 as the Hampstead Central Library. It now combines historic architecture with open, modern spaces, a café, bookshop and secluded garden, with free entry for all.  We visited to see the Bloomberg New Contemporaries show which included some very interesting works. The exhibition is on until 14 April 2024 and is well worth a visit.

Absolutely love this place! A little oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of Finchley Road. The exhibition spaces are beautiful and the cafe is faultless. Lovely beer on tap and delicious sandwiches and cakes. Great environment to work in, with adjoining garden. It also has a ceramics studio and well-stocked gift shop full of interesting books.  Caught a couple of exhibitions whilst there and, although small, well worth it.  Staff are lovely and the service was fast and efficient. They don’t do takeaway coffees but not a problem for us since we love the cafe and garden anyway!

Free contemporary art gallery housed in an interesting former library building, currently hosting the Bloomberg New Contemporaries annual exhibition which in previous years was at the South London Gallery. It is just across the road from Finchley Road and Frognal Overground station, and also near Finchley Road station and a 10 minute walk from Hampstead station. There is also a pleasant garden and an excellent café.

Great art museum. Entrance is free and donation is advised.. please tio so there can be more free art exhibitions! The world needs more places where you can discover artists and their works.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Wonderful space, all exhibitions are free. Very interesting and diverse collection, also nice book shop and a cafe with garden.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait

A beautiful old building with a lovely bookshop, cafe, outside seating and space for ~2 temporary exhibitions. Despite being hit by a V2 rocket in the Second World War, the art centre is a beautiful place to spend a few hours in an otherwise busy city.

A small oasis of greenery and art in an otherwise loud and busy part of town. A nice place to spend an hour. I wouldn't come here just for this but look forward to accidentally stumbling on CAC again.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
