Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Cecil Beaton's groundbreaking 1968 retrospective, hosted at the National Portrait Gallery, the Fashion and Textile Museum is presenting Cecil Beaton: Thirty from the 30s as part of their larger exhibition, Night and Day: 1930s Fashion and Photographs.

This intimate exhibit will be displaying some of Beaton's most iconic images, capturing the visionary approach to portrait photography that made him a major and distinguished contributor to some of the world's most reputable fashion publications - including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Life, The Sketch and Tatler.


Beaton's career spanned about 50 years, but his fashion photographs of the 30s remain some of his best-known pieces. Portraits of Salvador Dali, Elsa Schiaparelli, Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn often steal the spotlight. One piece to look out for will be the rare 1935 colour photograph of Mary Taylor, as well as images from Beaton's Gatsby-esque parties, hosted at his home in Aschcomb.

  • Texas Joe's Smoked Meats

    Joe takes his meats extremely seriously, which is important, as this is one of the most uncompromisingly carnivorous places that we’ve visited in a while. Beef brisket, mutton, pork and chicken all feature on the menu in various guises, smoked and seasoned to perfection.

  • Londrino

    This is Portuguese food but not how we know it. Inventive technique -- such as fermenting and pickling – with truly brilliant seafood and much use of British ingredients, makes for a true and unmissable gastronomic experience.

    Pique-Nique is the sibling restaurant to Bermondsey Street's traditional French bistro Casse-Croûte. We highly recommend the rotisserie Poulet de Bresse – a breed of chicken exclusively sourced from eastern France.
