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.

Christmas at London Glassblowing is officially in full swing! With cosy furnaces aglow and colourful works throughout the gallery, our Winter Solstice beckons your senses and celebrates the winter season. We warmly welcome you to explore these special Christmas offerings at London Glassblowing. Find out more here.

This weekend, continue your artful adventures nearby at the Eames Fine Art Gallery. Discover stunning prints by our very own Sophie Layton.
