China Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow at County Hall

The cultural office of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China worked with the exhibition's organisers to give Londoners a glimpse into the soul of their country.

The work on display ranges from a photographic study of life in China, both rural and urban, a time line of China's turbulent history during the rise and rule of communism, and a very interesting selection of propaganda posters from the collection of the University of Westminster

Some of these posters carry anti-British and anti-capitalist messages; they are all quite intriguing.

The professional calligrapher gives visitors a chance to try their hand at this ancient art, while British students of the discipline put on the kung fu demonstration.

The exhibition offers a rare glimpse into a country that is something of an enigma, even today, and although the display is very small, it is still worth a visit.

• China Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow is at the Riverside Suite, County Hall, Belvedere Road, until Tuesday 3 May. Open daily 10am-6pm; free.
