Victoria Miro Gallery, world-class art

Since 1985, Victoria Miro has represented some of the most significant artists in contemporary art and the gallery's home in a converted Victorian furniture factory on Wharf Road is one of the best free art experiences in London. No booking required. Just turn up.

Victoria Miro opened her first gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair in 1985, when the West End was still the undisputed centre of the London art world. She built a reputation for showing artists who were serious and significant not fashionable, but important. By 2000, the gallery had outgrown everything the West End could offer. The move to 16 Wharf Road, Islington changed the geography of London's gallery scene. A 10,000 square foot former Victorian furniture factory converted by architect Trevor Horne.
