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.

A free gallery of contemporary Korean art a few steps off Trafalgar Square, with a library, Korean classes and a film night.

Film programmeExhibitionsLibraryLanguage coursesFree entry

The Korean Cultural Centre is the cultural arm of the Korean embassy and the most public one in London: a gallery on the ground floor showing contemporary Korean artists, changed several times a year and free to walk into, with a library of Korean books, film and music behind it.

It also teaches Korean, runs a regular film programme and puts on talks, and it is the organiser behind the London Korean Film Festival each autumn. The address is on the Strand but the door is round the corner on Northumberland Avenue.
