When I moved to London from Glasgow in 2009 to pursue a music career, I lived near Brick Lane, and went to this gallery a lot. It’s very peaceful, shows new and innovative artists, and the gift shop is great. Visual art is always inspiring—seeing how people communicate through colours and textures the way I do through music. I’m a huge admirer of Frida Kahlo and the gallery introduced the then little-known Mexican painter to London audiences in 1982. I love this part of the gallery’s history and feel it has special meaning for me.

Art - lots of it. Always enjoyable exhibitions, not overwhelming like Tate. Easily accessible straight up from Brockley. In East London, close to markets, best curries, 'hipster' bars you can avoid
A 10-15 minute walk or bus ride from the flat this gallery is always worth a visit
The Whitechapel Art Gallery was founded in 1901 to bring great art to the people of east London. Internationally acclaimed for its exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and its pioneering education and public events programmes, the Gallery has premiered international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Nan Goldin, and provided a showcase for Britain’s most significant artists from Gilbert & George to Lucian Freud, Peter Doig to Mark Wallinger.

It's right next door to Aldgate Tube Station. It's small and interesting, with great, regular exhibitions. Best one I've seen was 'therapy', curated by a Mexican artist and psychology students (London). It was VERY interesting (but then I am a psychologist!). It also now has a great cafe on the ground floor!
