Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration

Friday 17th July 2026 I went to the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration with my dad, we travelled there on the Elizabeth & Northern lines from Ilford to Angel.
Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration is the UK’s only permanent place for illustration, located in Clerkenwell, London.

Their three galleries in a former waterworks showcase the breadth and dynamism of illustration through regularly changing exhibitions. After lunch we visited the Winnie the Pooh Beehive temporary pop-up in St. Pancras Station & the Harry Potter shop at Kings Cross Station and had a look around. Below are some pictures form my day and food from my Paignton holiday last year, also if you like reading my blog please comment.

Here are my things I bought
