The cafe is lovely. A small, but healthy selection of salads and sandwiches. A variety of tea. (They also serve beer and wine.) Good for reading alone, having a bite or a relaxes drink with friends.
Michael B.January 5, 2015One of the highlight of my London trip: Various photo exhibitions on several floors, open workshops (on Sunday) and a fine museum shop.
Diane WilsonDecember 9, 2014The current Edward Steichen exhibition is lovely, so many beautiful pictures. The cafe is also great. The service was good and they do soya cappuccino and delicious apple cake. Peaceful place.
Bear BearSeptember 18, 2018The entrance fee at £3 for the whole day and all the exhibitions is superb value and the cafe is well worth a visit in between exhibitions with a great range of teas and the usual fare.
Yoga With EduardoFebruary 14, 2016One of my favorite London gallery. If you want to get for free during the weekend go in the morning. The afternoon it's 3£ (used to be free)
Thomas DefiseNovember 17, 20193 floor art gallery, for £5 you can see all exhibitions that are there. I would advice to reserve around 1 hour
Ben JacksonAugust 17, 2018Really great space. £4 to roam all the floors. A fantastically well-stocked bookshop.
Eman AbdulazizSeptember 7, 2017A must visit place to photographers. Don't miss the wonderful book section about photography.
Great little cafe tucked away in Soho. Always a good place to work. good coffee and soup 🥣
Jemmaroid von LaalaaMarch 24, 2017This gallery always has a great range of thought-provoking and aesthetically beautiful work. I'm never disappointed.
Kukkii KoppeeMarch 25, 2016£3 day entry gives you access to exhibits spread across three floors. There's also a store in the basement.
@WineAlchemy1July 4, 2017Usually good exhibitions though the current one "cathedral of the Pines" is like Twin Peaks with a double dose of meaningless pretension.
Pleasant display Centre. How good it is depends upon the artists at the time of course. Tends to vary from great to um, not great.
KGMay 20, 2012Newly reopened with double the gallery space and a more extensive shop featuring retro cameras galore and those elusive photography book finds! Great cafe too!
Kevin BrenkmanNovember 25, 2016Pay an entrance fee after 12pm, it wasn't expensive though. Quite a small gallery but interesting exhibitions. Similar to FOAM in Amsterdam
Giacomo MasonDecember 20, 2017Great venue with rotating exhibitions. Very nice gift shop that sells polaroids and film
Frederik BuseMay 11, 2018One of the best photobookstores in the centre of the city, right off Oxford Street
Xin RogoOctober 11, 2014Well every one must try the café & the perfect and yummy home made quiche ;)
Sarah TaylorApril 6, 2015Really nice gallery - current human rights & human wrongs exhibition is excellent
ISIS London CentralJuly 4, 2013A great photography gallery, 5 minutes' walk from UIC. It has a good cafe too!
Dasol LeeMay 30, 2013Interesting works...lovely coffee and amazing cake! worth popping in for a breather during shopping!
Josef SzottenDecember 28, 2014Go check out the Viviane Sassen installation. Some unique fashion photography to say the least.
Armelle De OliveiraMay 19, 2015Exhibitions are free and there's an elevator. Exhibitions are short enough for people who are not really into art -like me - to enjoy
Dimitris AmvrazisSeptember 1, 2012Great view on the 5th floor, nice shows, beautiful building, awesome shop.
Walk here from the Great Marlborough Street side to avoid the crowds, and hope that's it's a bright day for the camera obscura.
Entry fee now charged though they have a free admission slot Mon – Fri, 10.00 – 12.00.
Morgans Hotel GroupAugust 8, 2012Tucked away on Ramilies St in Soho and having just had a major refurb this is well worth a look
Good coffee, nice salads and wonderful photographs!
kitSeptember 26, 2015Well curated and contemporary, has a good bookshop and hosts talks by photographers- Filippo CortiAugust 14, 2010Nice exhibitions, great shop: visit it to buy Polaroid films, lomo cameras or some other "analog" stuff.
Early Russian colour photography exhibition is well worth a visit
Very average space in terms of design and spatial layout. Interesting exhibitions though
