Photo of the Hayward Gallery in London<\/div>\n<\/div>Sure, London<\/a> is famous for its museums: the V&A, the National Portrait Gallery, the Tates\u2026Frank Sinatra even sang about the British Museum! But where you\u2019ll find the up-and-coming or cutting-edge artists is in London\u2019s smaller galleries\u2014and there are plenty of them scattered throughout the city.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each day, you can head out from your centrally located New York Habitat vacation rental in London<\/a> and discover another exciting and talented artist in the capital\u2019s galleries. With such a vast array of visual arts at your doorstep, you may never see London the same way again.<\/p>\n

An always-good bet is the Photographers\u2019 Gallery<\/strong> off Regent\u2019s Street in Mayfair<\/a>,\u00a0which is presenting dual shows of Andre Kertesz\u2019s black and white photos of readers in unlikely places, as well as an exhibit of (often outrageous) men\u2019s fashions.<\/p>\n

The small Serpentine Gallery<\/strong> in the middle of Hyde Park has a Jeff Koons exhibit running until mid-September, so there\u2019s plenty of time before summer runs out to catch his inflatable beach toys artfully rendered in aluminium. What\u2019s more, the entire Serpentine

The Hayward Gallery<\/strong> on South Bank, close to Lambeth<\/a>, allows viewers to access the mindscapes of ten international artists through large-scale installations. This creative exhibit stretches into early September.<\/p>\n

The excellent Whitechapel<\/strong> in Aldgate, close to East End<\/a>, presents the British Council Collection of sculpture and the East End Academy: Painting Edition, showcasing work by artists who live in London\u2019s East End, as well as American painter Elizabeth Peyton\u2019s moody, atmospheric works.<\/p>\n

If you like your art with a little bit of nature (and interaction), Artangel<\/strong> at Harper Road in Bloomsbury<\/a> is displaying Roger Hiorns\u2019s \u2018Seizure,\u2019 which converts an abandoned council flat into a cave-like structure with sparkling blue copper sulphate crystals that you can walk through.<\/p>\n

To bring the artistic vision back with you, consider staying in these well-designed New York Habitat flats in London<\/a>:
