ABOUT US
The Centre for British Photography (registered charity number 1190955) was founded by James Hyman in 2020 and opened a major new public space in central London in January 2023. The charity seeks to support photographers working in Britain through exhibitions, events, grants and mentoring.
The centre has six exhibitions spaces, a programme of public events, an archive, and a photography sales gallery. It seeks to provide a dedicated home for British Photography in all its diversity. The aim is to host exhibitions curated independently by outside curators and institutional partners as well as to stage internally curated exhibitions. The Centre also administers and provides access to the renowned Hyman Collection.
We wish to provide a platform for a range of voices in order to present an expansive overview of the diversity of British photography past and present.
ACCESS
The building has step free access from the street.
The galleries are on three floors with chair lift access to the basement and mezzanine. However, we regret that there is no lift and these floors are not wheelchair accessible.
VENUE HIRE
The Centre for British Photography is available for hire for breakfasts, private events and evening receptions. For details please contact Becky Martin: becky@britishphotography.org
