Fashion and Textile Museum - London SE1

A museum that stages a number of exhibitions that would appeal to many vistors to the Forum that is situated in Bermondsey Street, London SE1 (near London Bridge).

The current exhibition that runs until 17 May 2014 though is an absolute "must".

Entitled Artist Textiles: Picasso to Warhol - 20th century art in textiles and fashion from Cubism and Surrealism to Pop Art.

............... and not a pot to be seen in the whole place.

If you go..go to the London Glassblowing Studio in same street...brilliant

As Brin states Peter Layton's London Glassblowing studio is at the north end of the street where you can see pieces that are available to buy plus glassblowing in action.

The Fashion and Textile Museum is another 50 yards down the street on the other side of the road and if you continue for another 100 yards the White Cube Gallery is on the right. It's worth a visit, prices aren't shown and no-one bothers you.

There are also a number of good places to eat so you could spend the best part of the day in just one street.

Great Tapas bar down there...I will try and think of name

José is the one you are thinking of perhaps?


José Pizarro, who owns the tapas bar has a restaurant further down the road- called "Pizarro's" would you believe.


Now that we are talking food though - Zucca at 184 Bermondsey St. is the best.

I like Jose...I always end up drinking to much sherry

Went to the exhibition yesterday...Terrific. Its not huge but well laid out...ideal themed background music to. Colours and designs jaw dropping...the thought that these great artists designed wallpaper ,dresses etc...particularly loved Dufy and Saul Steinburg...ends on the 17th...urge you all to go

And may I recommend the Café...great cakes

Bad luck...Naomi
