A ‘Photography Quarter’ is being created just off Oxford Street, and near to the Photography Gallery.

The project will see Ramillies Street, Ramillies Place, Hills Place and a small section of Great Marlborough Street transformed into a regularly changing photography gallery.

The aim is for the area to act as an open-air gallery space for the public with an annual ‘Photographers’ Gallery’ programme of light projections and large-scale art lining the streets.
In addition to the photography displays, additional seating and more planting will be installed, and a range of — to be specified — events will be taking place.
Work on the outdoor gallery has started, and completion is expected by Spring 2022.
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
This is a fabulous idea. I’m a fan of the Photographer’s Gallery but that link up to Oxford Street is so grotty and just a smoker’s paradise full of rubbish. This is a great plan to tie it to the Gallery and entice people into the Gallery with accessible, outdoor photography.
