The Photographers' Gallery

ArtPhotographyClosed · Opens 10amFrom £8Oxford Circus

The Photographers' Gallery was the first public gallery in the UK dedicated entirely to photography, and it remains the most important. Three floors of exhibition space show everything from photojournalism to fine art photography to digital culture. The print sales room downstairs is a brilliant place to buy affordable work by emerging photographers. Free after 5pm on Fridays — time it right and combine with a Soho dinner.
