The Approach

A gallery above a pub in Bethnal Green, since 1997, and one of the best in the East End.

Commercial galleryFree

Jake Miller opened The Approach in the function room over the Approach Tavern in 1997 and never moved: you go in through the pub and up the stairs to a single white room that has shown Michael Raedecker, Peter Davies, Gary Webb, Phillip Allen and Sara Cwynar. The pub downstairs is a proper one, so the gallery has the best bar of any in London.
