London is famed around the world for its galleries and museums. Visitors taking a car hire in the United Kingdom can see remarkable paintings at the Royal Watercolour Society's Contemporary Exhibition, taking place at the Bankside Gallery from February 24 until March 14.

The event aims to promote watercolours as an artistic medium in the 21st century. The culmination of an ongoing competition, the exhibition will showcase new and established talent and display paintings in a variety of water-soluble media such as gouache and acrylics. The exhibition is not restricted to any particular subject matter, meaning attendees can see a variety of works focusing on several different themes and topics.

One of the only competitions of its kind, the Contemporary Exhibition is an ideal place to see the emerging painters of tomorrow.

After browsing the entries in the competition, visitors taking a car hire in London can drive along the banks of the River Thames and enjoy some of the city's most famous sights including the HMS Belfast battleship, the Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London.
