Victoria Miro Gallery
-
07 June - 11 July
In The Vanity of Small Differences Perry explores his fascination with taste and the visual story it tells of our interior lives in a series of six tapestries at Victoria Miro and three programmes called Grayson Perry on Taste to be broadcast on Channel 4 in June. The artist goes on a safari amongst the taste tribes of Britain, to gather inspiration for his artworks, literally weaving the characters he meets into a narrative partly inspired by Hogarth's A Rake's Progress.

The Victoria Miro Gallery opened in 1985 in Cork Street and moved to its current location in November 2000. The Gallery is housed in a converted Victorian furniture factory on Wharf Road, NI and with over 8,000 square feet of exhibition space it is one of the largest commercial spaces in London. Over the past 20 years the Victoria Miro Gallery has established itself as a leading commercial gallery representing established international figures including Turner prize winners Chris Ofili and Grayson Perry and Turner-nominated artists Peter Doig, Isaac Julien and Phil Collins.

As the only pub in the British Isles to bear the name, The Island Queen really is one of a kind. Tucked away on Islington's quiet backstreets, "the Queen" is a quaint oasis of comfy sofas, high ceilings and intriguing original features reminiscent of a classic London gin palace. Our deceptively bijou bar serves a gargantuan range of speciality drinks, while our colonial-inspired interior - embellished by etched glass and hand-painted mirrors - makes for a uniquely cosy backdrop in which to savour them.

Even amidst the bustle of Bloomsbury, it's hard to miss the Marquis Cornwallis. With a drinks list as prestigious as its namesake's bloodline, the grandeur of the period mansion is only outshone by the splendour of what's on offer inside. As you sip on one of our fine speciality beers or maybe a glass of crisp sauvignon, make like a marquis and take a turn around our drawing room upstairs - it's like the living room you've always wanted.
