About us

At The Photographers' Gallery we explore how photography is connecting, captivating and radically changing the world we live in. 

In the heart of central London, on the border of Soho and Oxford Street, the Gallery is home for the next generation of photography – from experts to novices and the photo-curious; artists and students; locals, tourists and passers-by; and an enthusiastic and committed team.
