About the gallery

Gareth Gardner Gallery was launched in October 2019 as the UK's only gallery space dedicated to photography of architecture and place. 

The gallery, designed by architect Studio C102,  is located in the heart of Deptford, London SE8.

The venue aims not only to interact with the local vibrant art scene, but also to become the recognised centre for architectural photography, hosting exhibitions and events that interrogate the role of architecture and topographical photography, examining how we perceive buildings and altered landscapes through image-making.

The curatorial mission is to discover new voices in architecture and landscape photography, providing opportunities to participate in photography through exhibitions and production facilities, and support those developing their career and artistic practice in photography. There will be a special emphasis on delivering different perspectives to those that are prevalent in architectural photography.

After several preview exhibitions and events, the gallery launched with the highly successful 'Morley's or Less' exhibition, which formed part of the Deptford X 2019 art festival. The show subsequently enjoyed an extended run thanks to extensive press coverage.
