About this event
Quentin Blake marks the 1951 Festival of Britain with an installation spread across the Southbank Centre site rather than hung in a single room. His scratchy, generous line at architectural scale, on the walkways and in the foyers, where you meet it on the way to something else.
Why we picked it
Britain's best-loved illustrator at building scale, free and site-wide, opening on day one of the window.
Free entry
