“Memory Palace: Es Devin” PITZHANGER GALLERY (London) – official review with video
It has been more than three years since I’ve been to Ealing.
And while the Broadway could satisfy a crave for brand-name shopping all year long, attraction-wise the surrounding area is lacking something more representative of its local vibes (and significance). The closest you’ll get and if you’re willing to go south, would be the Gunnersbury Park Museum, which covers a broader area than its name suggests. And including Ealing.
But how about something more local?
It is this recently restored Pitzhanger that really fills this gap for a need of local heritage. More on the house’s history next time – let’s just focus on the art gallery for now.
LOCATION. The fastest way to reach the gallery is by train – especially if you’re from anywhere but West London. A ride from Paddington to Ealing Broadway will cost you ten minutes.
After that, walk southwest and through the Broadway / High Street. Keep walking for about ten minutes until you reach somewhere grassy – the Ealing Green, and the Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery is right at the corner waiting for you.
Address: Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, Mattock Lane, Ealing, London W5 5EQ
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION. An imaginary model landscape with 73 attractions throughout human history. From left to right, it starts with Southern Cape’s first human hand mark (73000 B.C.) to the big things like the Coliseum to many other historical buildings / buildings where history happened and finally to Bangladesh’s rising sea level (2019).
Maps and caption leaflets available for purchase.
Otherwise you’ll have to walk back to the wall beside the reception for what everything is about, and back, and forth, and again and again in exactly seventy three times or as your short-term memory permits.
Messenger me for free advice on traveling plans.
Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
Date of visit: 2019.10
