Camden Arts Centre Reviews

Lovely staff; interesting exhibition, and curious selection in the book shop.

Love this little gallery just next to Finchley Road. There is a cafe within the arts centre which overlooks a garden. Lovely space.

very cool free exhibits. the cafe downstairs mixed with a book shop is a very relaxing area

It's a great place, shame the original entrance has been closed off. Could be used for entry only?

A gem of a place however the garden is not accessible for wheelchair users. Fabulous exhibition. A must-visit place.

Y all know I don t f*** with art that much but I have da tell you dis place is da SHEIZ!!!

Exhibitions are free and there is a cafe and garden plus bookshop.. Lots of art and pottery classes. Great place to visit an artistic peaceful haven amidst the hustle and bustle.

Great place to visit, lovely for school groups! Plus a very nice little cafe there too!

Fantastic art gallery away from the busy centre of town. Tremendous bookshop and lovely cafe and garden too. Accessible, with ramp and lift.

A bit of a journey to get there ! but we'll worth it when you get there ! Nice peaceful environment to enjoy the exhibitions !

What a lovely relaxing place in the middle the jungle (London)!

Great galleries and sessions for young students to attend.

Love this cosy place, small art centre with a comfortable cafe for a laid back break. There's also a garden when you can go out on a summer day. Would recommend. Check opening times before you set off.

Went to see an exhibit by Nathalie de Pasquier, only female member of Memphis architecture group. Easily reached with a good cafe and bookshop.

I ve made a number of visits to Camden Arts Centre just across the road from Finchley Road and Frognal overground station and a stunning Italian furniture emporium. An extended Victorian building it has been thoroughly renovated and updated so as to house, amongst its various exhibition spaces on two floors, a bookshop selling erudite and quite rare tomes on art, design, philosophy and much else besides, as well as a light airy cafe selling tempting cakes pastries and coffees. The main exhibition currently features abstract geometrical works by one Nathalie du Pasquier who began her professional life as a designer and clothes horse, but has since branched out into printmaking and sculpting. Upstairs she has transformed a room using walls and divisions into her own unique landscape.

Nice place to take the kids with good cafe and nice outside gardens

Place was so empty and can see why. There was barely anything there other than painted squares on a wall.

The middle classes gather here and seem to be only affirming themselves...

GREAT GALLERY SPACE.

QUIET WEEK DAYS.

REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE TRANQUILITY OF THE BUILDING INSIDE AND OUT.

GREAT EXHIBITIONS AND BOOK SHOP.

STAFF FRIENDLY.

Nice place, interesting and good for a cup of coffee in a nice environment

While I was only here very briefly, the space is stunning, with a nice selection of books for sale. Additionally, the cafe there is great. I had a nice bowl of soup on a chilly day.

Stop in to explore, or stop in for lunch - there is something for everyone.

Great gallery. Fantastic spaces and stimulating exhibits.

One of the favorite gallery in London, there are beautiful garden and good selected book store in it!!!

It was my first visit and I don't know how it is in "normal" times,but everything that needs to be in place during Covid seemed to be taken care of. The gallery itself was quite small. The venue was cold which I found to be very unpleasant. That was the case with the coffee shop too. In addition,when you walk in you can't even go close to the counter to see the cakes before you order any. Combined with the coldness, I was just very dissapointed.
The exhibition itself was very boring for my liking.

Nice galleries upstairs, always very relaxing atmosphere very good cafe.
Don't know what to make of the toilets used to be man and woman, they went through the effort of removing the urinals and now they are both unisex toilets, what i see is that most women prefer to queue and use the toilet for less able people.

Nice place with good art on show, cool cafe and garden as well.

Interesting temporary exhibitions and a beautiful little cafe and garden - the perfect escape from the busy London streets. Food was also great and very reasonable.

Lovely atmosphere and wonderful exhibitions. Worth a visit.

No permanent collection, so the quality of your visit will depend on what is currently showing. However, it's a pleasant, spacious airy venue, with a shop and cafe attached.

Nice but doesn t take long to get around. Good place to visit on a Sunday afternoon.

Excellent kids art activities, nice garden in the back

Small but interesting art gallery in Camden. Free Entry.

Beautiful place with contemporary art that is difficult to find. Worth a visit.

Camden Arts Centre shows fascinating temporary contemporary art exhibitions, runs a series of art courses, education projects and artist residencies. The gallery also has a fantastic bookshop and lovely Garden and Cafe - well worth a visit!

I've visited only a couple of times, though the ambiance of the place, seems so positively inviting. Lovely friendly staff, well as, they have a garden, where you may either socialize, or simply relax & enjoy your surroundings

Here it is necessary to enhance the visit to the whole street. Incredible "Jungle" of shops and characters

Great gallery displaying contemporary art. Calm and quite space

Love this space. The location is brilliant as well!

Best gallery in North London. Classy AF, nice cafe, garden area and excellent art / magazine bookshop. Particularly good texts about exhibitions and related events, talks film screenings. FYI: Not actually in Camden Town...

great selection, lovely interior, perfect exhibition. don't miss it.

Camden Art center in a gem in the middle of hamstead. Come for a coffee, a drink, an art class or to visit the exhibition. You are guaranteed to have a good time !

Great garrden and cafe. Lots of space for the. Art. Sweet out in the garden on a summers day

This is a great FREE arts gallery. Excellent exhibitions, a lovely cafe and garden with a good shop. What's not to like? Well worth a visit.

Nice lovely small arts center to go anytime. You can always enjoy a coffee in the garden, a good book and some form of art inspiration.

Modern and progressive. A lovely facility for those interested in art/artform.

It is a very nice and clean place above the library. We went for the Family Take over activity in tge Drawing studio. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Quite helpful. For tge arts and crafts, tgere was plenty of things available. For a 2 and a half hour activity and for no xost, it was quite remarkable. It is near tge station and the mall is st a stones throw. Pkeanty of quality eating outlets. The centre has got 3 studios for shortt films too. I couldnt watch them properly as they were not really meant for young children. Overall it was a very good experience. Thos activity is going ro continue for another 2 weeks. I shall be going back

Wonderful place! Interesting exhibitions, a beautiful garden. They do courses too and lots of activities for children. Recommend a visit!

Contemporary art gallery offering a programme of exhibitions, residencies and courses.

We visited the cafe and the small garden as the exhibition was booking only under Covid-19 restriction (no booking needed for the entry to the cafe and the garden). The garden is small but great for toddlers who enjoy walking! Cafe has the outdoor seating which would be great on a sunny day.

Saw a great exhibition here, entrance free of charge but very small. The shop has some excellent books in it but the cafe isn't amazing - had a pretty gross black coffee. Worth a quick visit.

Great classes, art exhibitions and free activities for children!

Great space for art exhibitions. Fully accessible with a cafe and a garden.

Wonderful art gallery and well organised for socially distanced exhibitions

Up to date, modern art, film, craft galleries, for all ages. Will make you all think, about what is actually, occuring on our planet!
Great Cafe, garden, classes, volunteers, book shop, managers.
Always % HAPPY, educated, relaxed, atmosphere.

Really lovely little gallery with an interesting selection of artists, classes and a cafe.

Good centre with an exhibition space, and a pleasant cafe with a nice garden.

Situated in a former library hosting contemporary art exhibitions, talks, lectures and running workshops and courses. Contemporary, resourceful and germane with a cafe, bookshop and an enclosed garden adding up to an agreeable and pleasant destination.

Small public gallery. The exhibition was boring, cafe was nice (on the pricey side), the bookshop stocks some great titles though.

Wanted to see latest exhibition as hadn't been in a while. Sculpture & Art installation by JenniferTee were displayed in one gallery. Large bold paintings by German artist Daniel Richter were in the 2nd gallery. Coffee shop downstairs with outside seating as well as inside so ideal place to sit in the sun & enjoy tea & cake !! Free entry so well worth the visit.

A gem. Lovely building. Great bookshop. Affordable art in limited editions. A great art space with some really interesting contemporary shows. And art classes including one of the few pottery classes.

Great cafe and good place for kids to run around and see some art

Great for arts and crafts with the kids on a sunday

Really love the Sunday family takeovers. A great way to see and understand the exhibition and get children involved

Lovely gem that's not to be missed. Great exhibitions, nice little cafe and book selection.

Great space, nice - if small - exhibitions. Cafe is very cute and reasonably priced though the food is very carby.

It was okay and the art works that I enjoyed showed artists impression on society. It was enjoyable.
