About
The Exhibition Road Cultural Group is a partnership of the leading cultural and educational institutions in South Kensington - the home of science, arts and inspiration in London.
Created from the legacy of the Great Exhibition of 1851, this is the world’s first planned cultural quarter. These organisations are united by not only a shared history and geography but also a mission: to promote learning and innovation in the arts and science for the purpose of changing the world.
Generating and sharing knowledge and inspiring the engineers, designers, scientists, musicians and artists of the future is still at the heart of what the area - known to some as Albertopolis- does today. Together our partner welcome over 20 million visitors a year, employ over 10,000 people and host over 20,000 higher education students.
The members of Exhibition Road Cultural Group work together to improve how it feels to visit, work, study and live in the area by enhancing the public space as an introduction to the creativity and innovation within the institutions; to describe and promote what the area has to offer; and to help each other promote innovation, inspiration and learning by addressing shared issues together and sparking new ideas.
Discovery is at the core of what happens here in South Kensington and Discover South Kensington is our public-facing profile.
