For the first time, we are excited to officially open our doors to visitors on Sundays. Bermondsey Street on a Sunday is a special place offering a refuge from the chaos of the city. Established in 1976, London Glassblowing showcases the work of Peter Layton, his resident artists and specially invited guest artists.
Silent Auction
10 - 19 May
Join us in the gallery and online for our annual Silent Auction! Similar to previous years, expect to see a number of artworks previously hidden from view, reserved specifically for the Silent Auction.
This year, we have introduced a few exceptional lots that have been carefully preserved in The Layton Vault for quite some time, unveiled specially to commemorate Peter Layton's 87th birthday. These rare and precious pieces are priceless treasures, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a significant piece from London Glassblowings history. Expect the rare, the quirky, and the unusual.
Visit us to see a small selection of pieces on display in the gallery or click the link here to see our catalogue. Bidding will commence this Friday 10 May until 23:59 GMT on Sunday 19 May.
See below for a very sneak preview of what to expect!
After visiting, have brunch in one of the delicious culinary spots on the street. Our favourites include The Garrison for Sunday lunch, Jose Tapas for a taste of Spain and The Shard for Afternoon Tea. Or for something a little more casual with a variety of flavours, explore the stalls in Maltby Street Market.
Finish off your journey with a tour of one of the galleries on Bermondsey Street. Follow the journey of the Ross Loveday at Eames Fine Art before continuing onto The White Cube where Georg Baselitz will captivate your attention and finally wrap yourself in the Biba Story at The Fashion and Textile Museum.
Our opening hours are from Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sunday 11am - 5pm. We look forward to seeing you then.
