More information from organisers:

Wandering East is Hazel East’s playful celebration of the city’s landscapes, buildings and hidden corners – reimagined through vibrant patterns and bold colour.

Hazel East grew up in East Yorkshire and has called South London home for the past 16 years. Her illustrations are shaped by a lifelong love of maps, architecture and the ways places connect.

Alongside her illustration practice, Hazel also works as a socially engaged artist across visual and performing arts. You’ll often find her exploring lesser-known parts of the city, iPad in hand, capturing London’s ever-changing character.

This exhibition brings together a new collection of Hazel’s digital illustrations, with a focus on maps and architecture across Tower Hamlets and beyond. Inspired by the energy of London’s vibrant local communities, the works combine familiar landmarks with overlooked gems – from train stations and bridges to neighbourhood corners rich with local stories.

With a modern, joyful twist, Wandering East reveals London as a city of layers, connections and contrasts.
