The origins of this gallery date back to the 1880s when a clergyman worked to bring exhibitions of art to London's East End. The gallery was then formally established in 1897.
The gallery remains independent and so is considered by many to be one of the most innovative art galleries in London. It specialises in contemporary and modern art and holds a series of temporary exhibitions each year.
The gallery also offers lectures and workshops. It is open daily except Mondays, but opening hours vary so do check in advance. Admission is free.
