Art of Bansky is coming to London this May
“An artist made by the people, for the people, and perhaps one of the most powerful artists of a generation – this is a one-of-a-kind exhibition that celebrates the work of an artist often ignored by the arts establishment…”

#FLODown: The worlds largest touring collection of Banksy artwork will be hitting London this May, celebrating the work of one of the most intriguing and talked-about artists in modern history. The exhibition will feature prints, canvasses, screen prints, sculptures, unique works and limited-edition pieces mainly dated between the years 1997 to 2008, the period which resulted in Banksy’s most recognisable and well-known works. With over 70 original works confirmed including the rarely before seen Brace Yourself featuring a dodgem riding Grim Reaper, alongside iconic favourites such as Girl with a Balloon and Rude Copper. It's set to be one of the best exhibitions in the city this summer!
In true Banksy style, The Art of Banksy is not authorised or curated in collaboration with the artist, and like the elusive man himself, the vast 12,000 sq ft underground exhibition space is hidden in plain sight, right at the heart of Seven Dials, Covent Garden.

In true London style, the Art of Banksy has partnered with nearby Mercer Street Hotel to provide unique afternoon tea packages as the perfect accompaniment to round off a visit to the exhibition. Does it get any better than art with a classic afternoon tea?!

There is no doubt the temporary loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum is the once-in-a-lifetime experience to rule them all. Meticulously stitched by hand by talented women, the embroidery has never returned to English soil in over 900 years since its creation around the 1070s. Although many worried for its fragile condition, visitors lucky enough to bag the £33 ticket…
