Hay's Galleria is a covered shopping centre but it's also so much more than that. Its riverside location hints at its original purpose back in the 1850s when it was a landing spot for deliveries from ships from all over the world where tea clippers from India and China would dock 150 years ago. Now it's filled with craft and market stalls overlooking and centered around a magnificent 60ft kinetic sculpture by David Kemp, complete with moving parts, water jets and fountains. Walking from the Galleria to the Tate Modern you can take in the Thames-side views with Tower Bridge and the Tower Of London to your right and the Old Operating Theatre, the Britain at War Experience, the Design Museum, HMS Belfast and the Unicorn Theatre all nearby.
