    Walked by the October gallery, off Queen Square Gardens, after seeing a friend the other evening. Paused to capture these photos of the outside (while it was closed). The Gallery has, for years, showcased contemporary African art. Must visit again soon!📌 🎨

    The exhibition space is free and has great shows, the garden is a genuine oasis and the theatre upstairs is extremely well equipped. All together a genuinely creative space run by enthusiastic and helpful staff

    This venue is nice. I usually come here in the summer for events. The staff are always really warm and friendly and they have a lovely little courtyard at the back.
