| Founded in 1971 at 8 Great Newport Street, a former Lyons Tea Shop, the Photographers’ Gallery was one of the first independent spaces in the UK devoted specifically to photography. It expanded in 1980 into 5 Great Newport Street, and in 2008 moves to 16–18 Ramillies Street. Exhibitions of the work of well-established and up-and-coming photographers are staged here, and the Gallery also awards the annual Citibank Photography Prize. The Print Sales Gallery holds work by some 100 photographers, with an emphasis on contemporary British work. | |
