A Space of Art and Wellness

Book Your Visit

The Observatory is a unique digital art pop-up designed to provide a sanctuary of calm and reflection during winter's toughest month. This year’s theme, Being Human, invites visitors to experience art and technology in new ways, promoting mental wellness and emotional connection.

Free entry: Donations encouraged for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).

Location: In the heart of London’s Eastern City district.

Dive Into Creativity and Connection

Nestled in the heart of London’s financial district, The Observatory transforms its surroundings into a haven of introspection and connection through two innovative audio-visual experiences: Harmony 2.0 and Soul Paint. Both experiences invite participants to explore emotions and creativity while fostering collective well-being.
