Photo Exhibitions in London next weekend?

[v15ben]

I'm down in the Big Smoke next weekend with a mate and we fancy seeing some things slightly outside the usual tourist box!

I enjoy my photography and would like to see some centrally located galleries/exhibitions, both at the major galleries, but also at the smaller places you'd never hear about in the standard press/adverts.

So where would the assembled PH 'Togs recommend for viewing some top class images in old London town?

That's too easy!

Too easy indeed.
Wanders off to peruse that website in depth...

Barbican Art Gallery has an exhibition of Robert Capa photographs (as well as a few other photographers) at the moment, seems to have had some pretty favourable reviews.

Annie Leibovitz has a show on in town somewhere too...

There's a great bookshop in there too.

Thanks for the responses folks!
I will definitely be checking some of these locations out and of course taking plenty of shots myself!

Three out of four of his D-Day films were destroyed in processing

National Portrait Gallery - 16th October - 1st February 2009. This is the show of the year from a photographer's point of view.

I didn't know about the Capa one. That is sure to be amazing. He's one of my photographic heroes.
