London Photography Exhibitions/Galleries

[Captain Kidd]

I'll be in London this weekend and have one day to visit a gallery or maybe two. If anyone could recommend a good exhibition or gallery to visit in Central London Id really appreciate it,

Thanks

Highly recommended! A much more varied collection than I was anticipating from the publicity with many photographs from the likes of Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange and Paul Strand.

Agreed. I was, frankly, stunned at the quality of the collection.

Agreed. I was, frankly, stunned at the quality of the collection.

I was too. Though some photographs are quite small and it was crowded when I visited.

An assault on the senses is the Richard Mosse installation at the Curve Gallery, Barbican - and it's free:

Also, try the Beetles+Huxley Gallery, which is showing manipulated portraits by Ruud van Empel (again, free) though this finishes on 18 March:

This is fantastic, thanks everyone, the Elton John collection is appealing as it includes a huge variety.
