Hay's Galleria in London
THE HISTORY
Built in the 1850's, Hay's Wharf took deliveries from ships from all over the world and the area became known as the 'Larder of London'. The great Hay's Wharf complex has been restored to its former glory and those who visit the Galleria today stand on the same spot where the tea clippers from India and China edged their way into the dock 150 years ago.
THE NAVIGATORS
A focal point in the heart of the Galleria is David Kemp's magnificent 60ft kinetic sculpture, providing a hypnotic combination of moving parts, water jets and fountains.
CRAFT STALLS
Traditional craft and market stalls decorate the walkways, sharing the spectacular surroundings with the permanent shops. Open every day, the stalls offer a variety of products from jewellery to paintings, ceramics to designer children's wear.
FESTIVALS AND EVENTS
A variety of special events are held regularly in the Galleria. Visit our NEWS & EVENTS section for further details.
THE RIVER
Take a leisurely stroll by the waterfront or simply sit and watch the world go by, basking in the unique atmosphere.
OTHER ATTRACTIONS
Surrounded by major attractions: HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge, London Dungeon, Tate Modern, Vinopolis and, just across the river, the Tower of London, Hay's Galleria can be part of a great day out. |
