Queen’s Crescent Market

By on November 26, 2010 in Art, Chalk Farm, Coffee, Culture, Food, Gospel Oak, History, Kentishtowner Recommends, Queen's Crescent, Walks, West Kentish Town

176 Gallery

By on November 10, 2010 in Art, Chalk Farm, Coffee, Culture, Kentishtowner Recommends, West Kentish Town

176 Gallery, Prince Of Wales Road London – Toby Ziegler: The Alienation of Objects 176 is ace. You could even say it’s one of the most exciting artistic openings since Tate Modern. Housed in an atmospheric Victorian Methodist Chapel lightly renovated by the team behind The Tea Building in Shoreditch, 176 (or, as it’s really [...]
