ABOUT US

Leyden Gallery is a nomadic and unique art gallery that was founded in 2013 on the boundaries of The City of London and Spitalfields. Prior to closing their City of London gallery location in October 2019, Gallery owners Adriana Cerne & Lindsay Moran trail-blazed a series of outstanding national and international exhibitions. Since leaving the gallery space last year, they have focused on the development of a virtual gallery and innovative collaborative projects including continued work with emerging and established artists. Leyden Gallery has built a distinct reputation as a vibrant and forward-thinking gallery, exhibiting work by both new and established artists; with previous shows featuring stellar names such as Paula Rego, Henry Moore, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and Nan Goldin amongst others.

ABOUT THE HOUSE MILL GALLERY

The House Mill Gallery is part of the House Mill, a grade 1 listed 18th century tidal mill set in a beautiful riverside location in the heart of London’s East End. Today, the House Mill Trust delivers a range of activities and events, including heritage tours, concerts and, of course, art exhibitions, hosting world-famous artists such as Bill Viola.

The House Mill is well connected to the city centre, that makes the gallery the perfect location for an art exhibition. The nearest station is Bromley-by-Bow, which is served by the Hammersmith & City and District lines and is a 5-minute walk away
