Come rain or shine, Bermondsey Street the place to be this weekend for some art loving

Never mind the weather.  This weekend visit Bermondsey Street for a lot of happenings.  The area - south side of the River Thames and stone's throw from London Bridge - has two of the most sought after food markets in London Borough Market and Maltby Street Market to say the least, which are only a minute's walk away from the Eames Fine Art Gallery where an Open Weekend is held on Saturday 18 June 11am - 6pm and Sunday 19 June 12pm - 5pm.

At Eames Art GAllery, you can join fellow art lovers for a browse and even a rummage through the 1000s of original artworks they have at the studio by the many artists they represent - from Modern Masters such as Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall, to Contemporary Masters including David Hockney, Antony Gormley and Paula Rego as well as exciting new talented artists such as Mila Fürstovà, Sophie Layton, Paul Catherall and Ross Loveday.


The area around the Eames Fine Art Gallery includes many wonderful museums, galleries and working studios very close by, and this weekend is the exciting opening of Tate Modern's new extension 'SwitchHouse'.  The new building is open ahead of schedule and offers an amazing 360º view of London from it's roof terrace, it has interesting open spaces for performance art and interactive installations.  Tate Modern is about a 15 - 20 minute walk away from Bermondsey Street.
