Opening November 2018 will be London’s largest permanent home for photography, Fotografiska London. The 89,000 sq ft gallery will have ticketed entry, but since it can show up to seven separate exhibitions, this ticket will get you far. This new home for photography follows Fotografiska’s successful gallery in Stockholm which features new talent alongside the world’s most celebrated photographers, and has become a major visitor attraction in the seven years since opening. Londoners can expect solo exhibitions, themed shows, and charity collaborations – all of which will be highly interactive with app and social media integration.

The project, which benefits from its accessible location in Whitechapel will include a bar, café, and two restaurants serving sustainable cuisine. Fotografiska's hope is to follow the successful self-set example of their Stockholm gallery's recently awarded 'Restaurant of the Year'. To attract product launches and events, the building will also house a conference venue featuring a 360-degree projection, private dining, and a cinema. 

Tommy Rönngren, lead investor and Chairman of Fotografiska London, said: “Fotografiska London seeks to fully integrate itself into the social, cultural and culinary fabric of this great city. We will achieve this goal by becoming the best exhibitor of international photography and creating a world-class space for social interaction. Since opening in Stockholm in 2010, millions of visitors have passed through Fotografiska’s doors, standing testament to photography’s vast and growing popularity. We thoroughly look forward to welcoming Londoners and visitors from further afield when we launch in 2018.”Jan Broman, CEO of Fotografiska International, said: “Photography is an art form that can evoke emotion, inspire ideas and serve as a vehicle for self-expression. In Stockholm we believe we have created the finest space to view and exhibit photography world-wide, as well as a unique venue for people to meet, and it is this combination that we think will prove innovatory for London when Fotografiska opens next year.”
