The Xuma gallery is an interesting one. Hyped as a small-bar-gallery, many of which can potentially just turn out to the awkwardly busy sofa-filled places to view art, this is more of a gallery. It's a nice haunt with a warm atmosphere and a mass of comfy red velvet seats, and is running a romantically titled 'Dreamland-by-the-Sea & Eastern Soul' photography exhibition.
Photos by Kit Fordham 'technicolour reclamation of our love affair with the English seaside and 'Eastern Soul: Russia & The Balkans', a soulful black and white odyssey of life and church life in post-Communist Christian Orthodox Europe.'
Xuma is definitely hyped as a unique little place and can get a little busy with 30-somethings at weekends, located on the corner of Seven Dials. It's split over two levels and serves real ale (which, not being an ale fan, I believe is a good thing).
Oh and wifi, without being a Starbucks. Horray.
The exhibition runs until January 14th.
