Hurricane

Hurricane is a contemporary art gallery tucked into London's creative landscape, and it's the sort of place you stumble upon when you're not expecting much and leave genuinely surprised. The space itself has that raw, industrial feel - exposed brick, high ceilings, the works - which does wonders for the art hanging on the walls. They rotate exhibitions regularly, so there's always something different on show, though the venue tends to punch above its weight with emerging and mid-career artists rather than the household names you'd see in the big museums.

It's proper worth visiting if you're into contemporary work and keen to see what's happening beyond the major galleries. You won't need hours here - forty minutes to an hour usually does it, depending on how many pieces catch your eye. The crowd tends to be younger, more art-world focused, less tourists taking selfies.

If you're basing yourself at Abbey Wood Experience Freedom Glamping just outside the city, Hurricane makes for a solid morning or afternoon outing when you venture into proper London. It's the kind of gallery that rewards a bit of curiosity rather than major expectations. Check their website for current exhibitions before you go - opening hours can shift with shows, and admission details aren't always obvious from the outside.
