Bankside is a cool design-led hotel situated on London’s vibrant South Bank. Midcentury is the favored period for the eclectic range of art adorning the walls of the hotel’s 161 rooms and public spaces.

Visitors can enjoy dinner or a drink in the Art Yard surrounded by artworks and murals, or visit the Art Yard Maker’s Studio, which is filled with an ever-changing roster of work from artists in residence, curated by the Contemporary Collective. Pictured here is artist Sarah Emily Porter, with artwork for her recent residency at the hotel's Art Yard Maker's Studio.
