White Cube Bermondsey

This is a beautiful place! Entry is free! I visited on a Wednesday early evening time and spent about an hour and half in the exhibit. On display were the works of Theaster Gates, 1965: Malcom in Winter: A Translation Exercise. Extremely beautiful exhibit with numerous modes of art including visual, physical, audio, and more. Each room has a different energy. Security is knowledge of the work and can answer any questions you have. The shop had a bunch of great books and gifts you could get for a friend. The area nearby is quite nice too, lots of places to eat and the Fashion and Textile Museum just 5 minutes down the street. I will definitely be coming back to see this exhibit again and to see other ones on display! I would 100% recommend.

This was a Thursday visit at around 3 pm. If you love art this space is perfect. The light and the space are great to showcase the contemporary artists that they show. In this case there is Richard Hunt in their Bermondsey branch. The other branch in Mayfair Mason’s Yard is showing Anselm Kiefer, a giant of contemporary art. The first pics are of the sculptures of Richard Hunt. I did not know who this artist was, but his oeuvre is quite magnificent, stark, powerful. His sculptures evoke a sense of dynamism, but also have disquieting elements of fear, oppression, reminders of what it was( still is ) to be black in USA. There is also a short video showing his studio, a disused factory where he creates his works. I really recommend a visit.

Nice gallery. Free entry. Not too big. So great to walk around and enjoy some art

Slightly underwhelming exhibit from Richard Hunt, but the architecture of the gallery really works well with the sculpture installations and makes up for the experience.

This gallery is a huge space that consistently houses amazing exhibitions that are frequently immersive and it is currently showing thought provoking work by Theaster Gates. The book shop has a brilliant selection of art books too.

A must visit in Bermondsey area, the gallery showcasing the works of contemporary artists. Gallery is a big space with different rooms to display different artworks. A good shop full varied selection of artistic books. Free admission, worth a visit.

Currently a fantastic artist on display, the rooms are epic, they have so much room to float around the art in a clean, environmentally controlled environment. Greeted by an enthusiastic, polite and welcoming team providing information on the venue and artist. This was as free, it's worthy the effort to attend.

Recommended by a friend, we came here to see Anthony Gormley’s exhibition. Gallery is spacious with neutral light. There are different rooms to display different artworks. Security is doing a great job handling the queues. You will not be disappointed. Have a nice relaxing afternoon here.

White Cube is a modern and abstract art gallery along Bermondsey Street featuring a couple rooms with a handful of sculptures and paintings. The gallery is quite small, and you might spend only 10 minutes or so seeing everything, unless you want to ponder the works more reflectively. It's free to enter, though, so worth a stroll if you're in the area.

Nice art gallery in the Bermondsey area of London. I visited here with my lady friend on a drab and rainy Saturday. Welcome to London LOL. They have those big glass and metal doors out front that are heavy and hard to open. Lucky for us some chap was exiting as we were entering and held it for us. Cheerio mate! Once inside it was clear to me the reason for the name. The walls are all painted white and when you step inside a room, it feels like you're in a big white cube. Some lady was at the front desk but looked really busy on the computer. Probably on Facebook or Yelp or something. We were able to walk right in without paying the cover charge. Score!! The exhibit they were showing was by the German artist Georg Baselitz. Large scale paintings of abstract figures. Reminded me a bit of a cross between De Kooning and Francis Bacon. He is considered a neo-expressionist. Everything looked good except for the fact that it looked like they hung most of the pictures upside down! No joke, here I am standing in a huge white cube looking at these huuuuge pictures all hung upside down. I know the pound is down, maybe they couldn't afford to hire professional picture hangers? I even saw some pictures that were hung side ways. Cmon guys get it together! This guy comes all the way from Germany, the least u can do is hang his pictures right. These things are worth millions I bet. I was going to point this out to the lady up front but I didn't have the heart. Also didn't want to distract her from the computer screen. Had to take a piss so I visited the wash room. And to my surprise right in front of my very eyes were 3 original Marcel Duchamp pieces! I couldn't believe it. And they were all hung correctly! Us art buffs like to call these 'found objects' or as they say in Switzerland 'DATA art'. Pretty modest for a gallery of this stature to keep these priceless works of art in the wash room where people must go out of their way to see them. PROS: I think they have free wifi. Impressive water closet gallery. Thought I saw a baby driving a car outside, but turns out they drive on the left side of the car in England. CONS: They hung the pictures upside down. Lady in the front ignored me.

With its white spacious interiors, the white cube gallery is a much sought after spot to hold installations within walking distance from London Bridge, including that of artist, Anthony Gormley, whose work also appears outside the Beautmont hotel as a cubic transformer like model sitting, like a soldier guarding its occupants whilst they enjoy one of the pricey stays inside. Also his work appears as a iron cast baby lying on the floor on one of the upper decks of the science museum. His metal specialised work is quirky and his installation at the time of writing consists of hundreds of cubic models lain artistically across a maze like section of the White Cube Gallery. Even if art is not your thing, there's just something very intriguing and thought provoking about his works that causes one to spend a record 2 hours in this place :)

A very nice space for a gallery. Large halls, white (duh) with lots of favorable lighting. Easy to find, no cost (yay!) and moderately crowded. The artist whose work was on display during my visit was Tracey Emin, whose works reflect mostly traumatic events in her life. Made me feel sorry for her...I hope she is able to keep her demons contained.

Around the corner from the busy London Bridge/Shard area, there is this little but some how large gallery showing new contemporary art. It has free entry. It's large warehouse space is divided into several (but not too many) exhibition areas. The staff watching over the exhibition areas are hard to spot because they are wearing normal black clothes, each are carrying a book that they read when no one is in the space and each are positioned to get the best view of the room they are watching. So unobtrusive, so much better than other galleries where the staff watching over the exhibition make you feel like your a school kid about to brake the art. Why 4 stars you ask. One reason, it took me a while to find. I walked pass the entrance a couple of times until I spotted it slightly away from the street edge. Second reason, it only took me 5-10 mins to walk around the exhibition they had that day. However, saying this, I would go again.

Cool space to pop into when you're in Bermondsey! I stopped by for the Christian Marclay exhibition recently and it's a lot of fun. Big dark room for silent onomatopoeia exploding on all four walls, and the Pub Crawl piece in the hallway is entertaining since your shadow lines up so perfectly with the projections. Odd musical performance art in the South Gallery. Way too serious for what is essentially tinkling glasses with stones and water.

The owners of the White Cube gallery have taken the "white cube" theory of hanging art on white walls literally. This is the third gallery of this name, after Hoxton Square (unfortunately closed) and Masons Yard in Mayfair. The sheer size of this converted warehouse is impressive in its own right, and I particularly love the 9x9x9 cubic space at its heart - a true white cube! The artists represented by this renowned gallery for contemporary art are just as impressive, and exhibitions are of museum quality. Anthony Gormley was particularly breathtaking, and I'm glad I caught Theaster Gates before it closed yesterday. Unlike many commercial galleries, the White Cube opens on Sundays and provides a perfect excuse for a stroll down Bermondsey Street.

Lovely almost futuristic space and design. It's something I haven't seen much of in terms of gallery space in London. Purely white and minimalistic. I love it for that. In terms of exhibitions it can vary wildly and be random but keep a look out and you might catch a gem. Gets plus points for being on a cool street for food and coffee and near river at that for views.

I absolutely loved the Anselm Kiefer exhibit "Il mistero delle cattedrali", which greatly employed the big spaces offered by this White Cube gallery. They also have a nice projection room where they screen a film for free every Sunday, each time chosen by a different contemporary artist.

Very impressive private art gallery, famous for its finest selection of contemporary artists! I did come here for the exhibitions first, but I found myself even more impressed by the building itself. The huge glass doors, those pristine white walls, and THAT massive hall in the back...sitting on those benches and do nothing but watch Georg Baselitz's oil on canvas. Coming here has become a small tradition, right in between wondering around Maltby Street Market and our Sunday Roast at Garrison...a perfect idea for a Sunday on the other side of the Thames.

Fantastic place to spend 30mins if you're in the area. It's a commercial gallery but most visitors are not there to buy. A really cool venue with constantly changing exhibits means there is it keeps you interested throughout the year. It's contemporary so works may not always be to everyone's taste. It's been a brilliant addition to bermondsey street and I would recommend you pop in if you are in the area.

Pretty simple space, showing contemporary art. They use their simple rooms well, with art that literally climbs the walls. Check their site to see what's on display.

They're really strict about food and drink in here. But I totally get it - those white walls are pristine as heck. But don't think that this is just any fuddy duddy gallery - it's modern art everywhere to shock and confuse you. I liked it and loved interpreting the art on display. There are some really interesting things going on here, but since I'm not an artist, I'm not ready to comment. In any case, there are amazingly high ceilings here. Love it.

Experience The Luxury Of White Space!

This is the newest branch of the White Cube collective, down in Bermondsey, south of the river by London Bridge. It's bigger than the rest and veritable epic. Work here will never be anything short of amazing. They did launch Damien Hirst after all.

Wonderful space. Big names including Chuck Close, Anselm Kiefer and Gary Hume exhibiting work for free. What's not to love?
