“It is always a privilege to be able to host exhibitions in gallery@oxo. We've been quite astounded by the
incredible footfall; people just can't resist the temptation to stroll in after they catch a glance of the show when
walking past. During the setting up of our last exhibition people were trying to come in after just one picture had
been put up!”

Lynn Tait, The Lynn Tait Gallery
“gallery@oxo has an unrivalled location – I have curated exhibitions
in Australia and America and nothing compares to this little gem of a
gallery on the South Bank. Exhibiting here is both challenging and
rewarding because of the exacting high standards that have been
set from previous high profile exhibitors. World renowned
photographers Charlie Waite, Philip Plisson and Art Wolfe whose
exhibitions I have curated here love the light, modern space that is
easily accessible, as well as the professional support to help get as
many visitors as possible.”
