Lonely Planet review

This tiny two-part gallery may be small in size, but it's certainly got a big reputation in the photography world. It won't even be that small come 2008, since plans are underway to relocate to 16-18 Ramillies St in Soho with the new premises designed by O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects.

The prestigious Deutsche Börse Photography Competition (annually 9 February to 8 April) is of major importance for contemporary photographers; past winners include Richard Billingham, Luc Delahaye, Andreas Gursky, Boris Mikhailov and Juergen Teller. The gallery is always exhibiting excellent and thought-provoking photographers. The next-door café and exhibition space is a great place to sit in peace during weekdays, and the shop is great for photography books and quirky gifts.
