Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA)

The Fox Reading Room exhibition space below the bar (it's small) has the loveliest shows, often documentary/historical. The bar is nice too!

Founded in 1947 to challenge the foundations of contemporary art , it enabled the first exhibitions of Picasso, Moore, and Hirst . The ICA's lecture series features eloquent artist and filmmakers.

The Fox Reading Room exhibitions and installations are a hidden gem ; good bar and eatery (where I used to work); and good exhibition spaces

Love the cinema programme in particular. Good spot to regularly check out for events . The book shop is small but rich with stimulating titles.

The ICA was founded in 1947 as a ‘playground ’ for contemporary artists , and moved here in 1968. It hosted Damien Hirst’s first solo show and the debut London gig of Franz Ferdinand.

Great for fans of obscure Portuguese films and similar arty fare. Deserves a mention for the fantastic bookshop and being the home of Ultra Culture Cinema.The Mall , SW1Y

Great Bar and also great for food. Lovely healthy options

Nice cinema with small amounts of seating so feels quite intimate and special. Seems to have some interesting shows on.

The ICA offers free wifi and great coffee ideal for a causal working meeting or arty elevenses.

Exhibitions of contemporary art and cinema , talks, contemporary music events and a very cool café bar hangout. It's art right here, right now.

They always seem pretty disorganised every year when it's the film festival and showings never start on time!

Teller is the coolest, soul-ironic-porn as we all like, I was the only girl crying as it is too beautiful, too sincere to be true, yo!

Great cinema , seen dozens of films here, free WiFi , cheap membership.

Nice gallery just a few steps from Trafalgar Square, free wifi

The vibe and reasonably priced drinks, oh and the art

One of the best venues for interesting films and art . Beautiful location wildly popular but stills feel undiscovered.

There aren't too many places in this part of town to get beer and free wifi together. The ICA totally delivers . Oh, and they've also been known to put on films and artwork from time to time.

Nice place, great infusion teas . Sadly, still no alcohol-free beers !☹️

a great little bar here to relax in and the drinks aren't to expensive either.

a bit past its best but still worth a visit

Love the art house cinema programme

great atmosphere, i love getting some pints and chill out at the bar

Come here for free ad easy to access wifi

Classy and cultural. Antiestablishment bookstore

I feel dislocated here, as if everyone else is part of a performance art event at which I am a mere spectator. Turns out, I was right.

If you like Graphic Novels then the ICA is a must as they host Comica. Read more
