A forum for the built environment

We established the Gallery in the 1990s as a venue where individuals, special interest groups and professional organisations can hold lectures and exhibitions about the built environment.

Based on Cowcross Street and close to Farringdon Station, the Gallery has become one of the foremost spaces in central London for discussion, debate and exhibitions on the built environment, architecture, urbanism and heritage.

Here is a link to our current users’ guide.
