Since then, exhibitions have brought some of the very best regional collections together in major showcases at our London home for hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Cultural Programme: Based in central London and defined by our greatest resource – Two Temple Place itself – with its fantastical décor and vivid history, we want to be inspiration, provocation and home to the artists, cultural organisations and community groups we work with.
Community Programme: Throughout the year we work with a diverse range of community groups from across London (and the UK) to animate and reimagine our wonderful building, including Age UK, CNWL Arts in Health, Dream Arts, Open Age, Soteria, The Abbey Centre and Westminster City Lions. We would love to hear from you and to welcome your group to Two Temple Place!
