International Culture

The national cultural institutes and diaspora cultural centres that keep a public door in London, with the libraries, galleries, film programmes and language classes they run, and the international festivals that return to the same ground each year. Much of what they put on is free.

Japan House London

Free exhibitions of Japanese craft and design on Kensington High Street, open until eight most nights.

ExhibitionsLibraryFree entry

One of three Japan Houses in the world - the others are in Los Angeles and São Paulo - and the only one in Europe. The ground floor is a shop of Japanese goods chosen by region and maker; the gallery below runs free exhibitions, usually of craft, photography or design, changed every few months; there is a library, a sunken restaurant and a bar.

The programme around the exhibitions is talks, workshops, screenings and demonstrations. Admission is free, though a few of the workshops charge.
