Opening times

Two Temple Place is closed to the public except during our annual exhibitions and any advertised public events.

Open now until 22nd April 2019 with John Ruskin: The Power of Seeing.

On Sunday 24th March 2019 Temple Place and surrounding roads will be affected by road closures due to the London Landmarks Half Marathon. Pedestrian access will be facilitated throughout but there will be no vehicle or bicycle access on directly affected roads and a number of bus route diversions will be in place. For more information please visit: https://www.llhm.co.uk/road-closures and to check if your journey is affected please visit: tfl.gov.uk

Due to exceptionally high visitor numbers there may be a delay in entry to the exhibition at busy periods in order to maintain the safety of both visitors and exhibition objects. We are finding the hours between 11am and 12.30pm particularly busy and visitors are strongly recommended to arrive as near to 10am as possible (except for Sunday when we open at 11am) or after 2pm.

Monday: 10am – 4.30pm
Tuesday: CLOSED
Wednesday: 10am – 9pm
Thursday: 10am – 4.30pm
