Slightly pretentious and overrated, but ICA does screen a fairly decent selection of films throughout the year. The bookshop’s a worth a look-see too. However, I’m generally nonplussed with their exhibitions and find they just can’t keep up with, say, the Tate, the Serpentine and a number of galleries around town.

London's Institute of Contemporary Arts is housed in the beautiful Nash House on the Mall, opposite St James Park and minutes walk from Trafalgar Square. There's a couple of cinema screens, a theatre, and a small but funky bar area (expect trendy arty types but it's a relaxed, casual place). Some evenings there are club nights. The gallery space hosts rotating exhibits and in the foyer is a bookstall stocking a range of art and arty publications. Admission is required (for non-members) even to visit the bar but it's 2 quid mid-week and 3 pounds at weekends (with discounts for the usual concessions).

The ICA is perhaps one of London's leading cultural institutions.
Bringing together the most recent in contemporary art and film the intimacy of the ICA is grand for coming close and seeing what contemporary art is made of. It's careful programming and themed seasons add to the delight.
The bar and restaurant are small but good, the film theatre is petite and cozy and the gallery space upstairs is perfect for exhibitions.
Be sure to check out the Pecha Kucha nights and keep a lookout for special events and happenings which are always guaranteed fun.
Recommended as a stopover before continuing on to Buckingham Palace.
