About us

THE WHY

Lost in the twists and turns of Kensel Town, nowadays known as: Colville, Portobello and Ladbroke Grove we find a little-known culture of galleries and artists working together; they are legends, found only in lofts and studios buried deep in the rivers of London’s oldest markets. It is from within these estuaries that some of the greatest talents of contemporary art have dwelt and emerged. From as far back as last century, musicians, actors and artists flocked to soak up the residue of London’s most concentrated chaos. A galvanised community of creative types that still wander the streets and line the walls of the few establishments that remain.

Out of this soot, came the need to celebrate these legends, artists that live alongside the bastions that fly their flag. The gallerists, the managers, captains of their own vessels still afloat despite horrific odds stacked against them. Those brave enough to take on the tempestuous seas of indifference and stand fast whilst barraged by the tatt spewed out from the bowls of media saturation and the relentless arse of digital mediocrity.

We therefore implore you to look beyond your mobile device (once you’ve booked through Eventbrite) and use your powers of intrigue to hop on board our tours, to be literally transported around these iconic Galleries to soak up an unearthly quantity of: ideas, culture and very reasonably priced market food. These are the times we live in and they don’t last for very long, so don’t procrastinate until it’s too late. Don’t be scared by one more page on your browser window that will no doubt confirm your booking, take a leap of faith and be escorted through the most illustrious part of the West by some of the oldest school oracles we have the pleasure of introducing you to. So, I guess we’ll see you there then…
