Fashion & Textile Museum
The zany fashion designer Zandra Rhodes opened her own museum in Bermondsey Street. The striking exterior by reknowned Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta gives an indication of what's in store for visitors.
After several years' hiatus, the museum reopened in February 2008 under the ownership of Newham College who run an academy in the building.
The museum hosts a series of temporary fashion exhibitions and a small permanent display.
The Fashion Cafe is open daily.
