An interesting collection that is neatly organized. Sculptures on the ground floor were from artists who have other things on display around and about in London. On the lower floor, a few Bob Dylans (I really liked the one that didn't have the caption but was mostly red and brown with an image of a hotel room) Several lovely sculptures including "David 2020" which was in the same white marble like Michaelangelo's David, but this was in the figure of a woman. It was free. Well worth an hour of browsing. There is no audio guide. There were no signs saying that photographs were prohibited.

They also had some interesting pieces inside... a couple of small sculptures, and other pictures reminiscent of the ones in their window display, but to be honest, I didn't pay too much attention, because shortly after entering in the store, I looked at the little card next to a picture and realized it was a giclee - that nouveau form of printmaking where paint is sprayed onto canvas to make it look as if it's an original - when actually there are usually thousands more out there exactly like it. So I admit, I'm something of an art snob, but what can I say, I like *originals* - and especially since one of these claptrap giclees is going to run you well into the thousands of pounds anyway... unless you're absolutely madly in love with a particular image, I say, let the galleries keep their giclees, and use the money you would have spent to invest in a piece of original art that may actually hold or increase in value down the road.

With so many other galleries and museums in London, I wouldn't recommend visiting unless they have interesting artworks on view that compromise the entrance fee.

The gallery is spread across two buildings on opposite sides of Bell Street, an unassuming side street behind Edware Road. On my last visit, a group show dedicated to drawing - simply entitled "Line" - was staged in one building while the other was dedicated to John Akromfrah's films. I wish I had had enough time to watch all three videos, they were visually stunning and just won't work as well on a small screen. Richard Deacon next - another one for the diary!

I was curious about what might be in there, at a small gallery in the shadow of the Tate, and we decided to take a quick peek. We were with our two boys, who'd had their fill of art, so this was a real in-and-out situation. To our delight, though, we walked into an exhibit of new drawings by illustrator Quentin Blake. I didn't know him by name before we walked in, but I recognized his work as soon as I saw it. He's illustrated over 300 children's books, including 18 titles by Roald Dahl. Our six-year-old has been making his way through Roald Dahl's books, so this was pretty exciting for all of us (well, I guess our three-year-old didn't care). The space was pleasant and nicely laid out, and it was easy to make our way through and look at all the drawings. Several of them had sold already, but several were still available, and while the prices were a bit high for vacation souvenirs, they seemed affordable by art world standards. (Looking at the gallery's website, it's clear that a lot of the work they exhibit is in fact quite affordable.) Quentin Blake has apparently been exhibiting at Bankside Gallery for several years, with proceeds going to the newly opened Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. Bankside Gallery is well worth a visit if you're walking along South Bank. It's a quick stop where you can see interesting art, and you might stumble onto something really wonderful.

We were persuaded to spend a large amount of money on artwork because we were told it would be invested in artwork sourced from all over the world, including auctions, art fares, galleries etc. And because we were told the gallery would act in our best interest. In reality, they only acted in their interests selling us artwork from their own stocks on which they got paid large amounts of money by the artists. Which is a huge conflict of interest. Rather than enjoying increases in value this results in the customer losing a very large amount of money Once they had our money the communications stopped and we didn't get answers to any of the two dozen emails we sent over the months we tried to secure sales.

The gallery is already equipped with everything you might need for your exhibition including plinths, and utensils and glasses for your openings, they will even staff it for you. Your individual needs can be discussed with the gallery manager. If you are an established artists and thinking of starting your own gallery this can be a good trial run to get a feel for the business side of the art world without all of the start up costs.
