WHERE

Harrow

What it’s like

Studios, galleries and greenhouses you wander round rather than a class you sit through, and hours are still being pinned down.

It's an art park rather than a class. You turn up and wander: studios to look into, galleries and small micro-galleries, and greenhouses, which are the bit I'd save for last with a small child because there's more to look at in there than you'd guess from the outside.

The site says it's typically open 10am to 5pm most days, with later openings likely at weekends, and a weekday version of 9am to 5pm. The honest catch is that Art Park isn't fully operational yet and regular hours are still being finalised, so the day you pick matters more than usual here. A morning is the sensible bet.

It's in Harrow, and it's somewhere you'd go for an hour or two rather than a whole day out. If you've got a buggy you'll be moving between studios, galleries and greenhouses, so expect to be in and out of doors rather than settled in one room, which is worth thinking about if the forecast is grim.

For anything specific, including renting a space, they ask you to email artpark@meanwhilespace.com, call 020 7737 4136, or use the form on the site. If you're planning around a toddler's nap or a school pick-up, that's the route to take before you set off.

Plan your visit

When is it open?

They say it's usually open most days from 10am to 5pm, with later openings likely at weekends. Regular hours aren't finalised yet, so it's a good one to ring about before you travel.

Is it a class you book onto?

No, it's an art park you wander round. Studios, galleries and micro-galleries, plus greenhouses.

How long does a visit take?

An hour or two. It's a wander rather than a full day out, and there's no set route.

How do I ask about renting a space?

Email artpark@meanwhilespace.com, call 020 7737 4136, or fill out the form on the site to ask questions or arrange a viewing.
