What's on

Over the next few months, our Friday Lates programme sees a host of fascinating talks at the Gallery, on everything from philosophy to architecture. 

There are student takeovers from Royal Holloway University of London and Central Saint Martins, alongside performances of music and poetry.

The programme also features screenings of our 2025 Artist Residence Ming Wong's film called ‘Dance of the sun on the water | Saltatio solis in aqua’.

Our ever popular life drawing sessions also return, hosted by ESEA Life Drawing, Originary Arts and London Drawing.

Make your Lates even later

Why not start or end your night at one of our stunning bars and restaurants? In our Sainsbury Wing, you'll find the newly opened Bar Giorgio, serving drinks and aperitivo – and at the Getty Entrance, our celebrated brasserie and cocktail bar, Ochre Brasserie, is conveniently nestled next to London's best theatres and shops.

From Friday 6 March, Ochre will be open for dinner service until 9pm, with live music on the first Friday of every month, alongside a seasonal British menu, carefully selected wines and cocktails, creating a truly special atmosphere for all to enjoy. Advance booking is recommended.
