They offer tons of classes like ballroom, salsa, caipoera, zumba, ballet... check it out if you need a local dance facility.

There is a very rough edge to this school, but also a classical approach to art…read more I really enjoyed my first two months in London and in this school, here I learned about the capacity I had to be creative and to not be afraid of it. The school itself holds courses in drawing, painting, sculpture, to name a few. The building is not very clean, the walls are not very white and the taps in the toilets are full of paint. To me is character. Even Archway, which is not one of my favourite areas adds to the uniqueness of the college. The course I did, one to create my portfolio, was very complete. It included studies in drawing, sculpture, graphic design, product design, textiles and fashion. It gave me the green pass to go to CSM. And you know what happened next...(refer to Central St. Martins review)

Abhorrent experience with Jealous Gallery in the lead up to their release of David Shrigley's 'Live…read moreEach Day As If It Were Your First'. In advance of the print release, which was being released at the Original Print Fair, Jealous' website, social media channels and newsletter clearly stated; "We are advising all customer to arrive at 4pm and not earlier, since we are trying to avoid any queuing before hand at all cost." I arrived at the venue at 3:00 pm to look around the fair before the 4:00pm release. When I arrived at Somerset House, I was told by staff that there was a queue for the release of 'Live Each Day As If It Were Your First' and that there were already in excess of 125 people in the queue, some of which had been at the venue since 8:00 am. Thus, they were not trying to avoid queuing "at all costs" but instead, organising a queue for those who disregarded their instructions, all of whom where rewarded with a copy of the print. Jealous' communication with their customers is way below par and their ability to coordinate a print release is chaotic. In addition, I spoke with people in the line who'd been queuing for hours in boiling hot sun, with no shade and no offer of a refreshment. They were each issued a wristband but they were not numbered and when it came to purchasing the prints, people lost their position. This behaviour only reflects how other services within the gallery operate and I would truly avoid doing business with this gallery.

I like her pointy little teeth and I laughed and laughed. I really like this gallery. They advertise it as affordable art and I hope it will one day be affordable for me to shop here. Jealous sells limited edition prints from emerging and established artists. The prices range from 250-599 officially but I heard one being advertised for 200 pounds, a picture of a crying monkey. The art here is mostly pop art and is controversial in a delightful way like putting the queen in a gas mask to explain terrorism. You will enjoy looking around here or having a chat with the staff. If you can afford anything other than bare essentials, by industry standards this art is affordable. Cool as well.
