Bringing together the works of 59 photographers from across the last 150 years, London Street Photography is a fascinating visual documentation, capturing the dynamism & energy of this evolving city.

Until 4th September.

Approximately 200 photographs will be on display, including work by well-known photographers such as John Thomson, Henry Grant and Roger Mayne, as well as superb contemporary images. All the photographs in the exhibition contain an element of chance – a defining characteristic of street photography. Whether it’s a fleeting expression, a brief encounter or a momentary juxtaposition, every piece has a sense of spontaneity and movement.
This will be the first time street photography is explored exclusively in relation to London. It focuses on the motives of the photographers and the wider social and cultural contexts in which they worked.
