Garden Museum: Benton End

Step into the creative world of Benton End at the Garden Museum, where art, gardening and creative freedom come together. Benton End: A Paradise of Pollen and Paint explores the influential 1950s Suffolk art school founded by artist and plantsman Cedric Morris, bringing together paintings, drawings, photographs and personal objects connected to the artists and gardeners who gathered there. Just across the river, it offers a quieter cultural escape from the usual London gallery circuit — perfect for pairing with a wander through Lambeth and the South Bank.
