2026 Calendar – London Museums and Galleries
There’s a particular kind of joy that comes from wandering through a gallery — that moment when you lose track of time in front of a painting or discover an artist who completely shifts your perspective.
For me, museums and galleries have always been more than just buildings. They’re spaces of quiet reflection, constant inspiration, and creative energy. So it felt only natural to celebrate them in a format I love: a hand-drawn illustrated calendar.
Just launched: my 2026 Calendar, featuring illustrations of some of London’s most iconic museums and galleries — one for each month. From the timeless halls of the National Gallery in January to the bold, contemporary feel of Whitechapel Gallery in December, the calendar is a visual journey through the city’s rich cultural landscape.
I’ve always had a deep connection with museums. My love for art began at school, where I was first introduced to artists, techniques, and the idea that art could be a way of seeing the world differently. That early fascination quickly turned into a lifelong habit — one that sees me regularly revisiting favourites like Tate Britain, the Hayward Gallery, the Design Museum, and the Photographers’ Gallery. Each visit offers something new: a fresh exhibition, an inspiring installation, or just a quiet corner to sketch in.
The 2026 Calendar – London Museums and Galleries is rooted in that personal joy. Every illustration is drawn in my signature style, capturing not just the architecture of these incredible spaces but also their atmosphere and character. Each month includes a short bio or story about the gallery or museum featured — something to add context, appreciation, or even spark a future visit.
I also wanted the calendar to be practical, not just decorative. There’s space to jot down notes, dates, or upcoming exhibitions you don’t want to miss.
