London, hold on to your Tubby Toast because the Teletubbies are about to blow your artistic mind! That’s right, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po are stepping out of the hills of Teletubbyland and into the fine art world. Until September 28th, 2024, the House of Teletubbies: London Art Takeover is taking over 15 Bateman Street like it’s the hottest ticket since Banksy graffiti appeared on the side of a duck pond.
These aren’t just any blobs of colorful nostalgia. Oh no, these tubby pals are teaming up with some of the freshest artists around to reimagine what happens when you combine art, childhood joy, and a whole lot of custard.

📍 Where: 15 Bateman Street, London
📅 When: Sept 26-28, 2024
🕚 Hours: 11 AM – 6 PM (Yes, you’ll still have time to grab a flat white after.)
We’re talking about a lineup hotter than Tinky Winky’s handbag collection. Artists like Austin Call, duhrivative, Jon Burgerman, and ONCH are here to bring your childhood favorites into the 21st century. Plus, let’s not forget 25K Fern and MurWalls, because apparently, nothing says “fine art” like a giant mural of Po’s scooter.
Art for All Ages!
The event is open to kidults, kid-kids, and basically anyone who ever got lost in Teletubbyland. You’ll be able to doodle on giant canvases, design Teletubby-inspired accessories, and create memories that are probably going to make your Instagram followers wildly jealous.
