The Science Museum, South Kensington is hosting one of London’s top photography exhibitions this winter, bringing together 200 images by some of the greatest names in photography. Ranging from idyllic landscapes to evocative nudes, Drawn by Light offers an extraordinary selection of images from the Royal Photographic Society’s permanent collection of over 250,000 photographs.
Highlights include some of the earliest known photographic images, dating back to the 1820s, by astounding pioneers like Roger Fenton and William Henry Fox Talbot. Displayed alongside are contemporary images by masters of modern photography including Martin Parr and Terry O’Neill.
You’ll also discover a number of key photographic artefacts, from the Nicéphore Nièpce heliographs to Talbot’s camera lucida sketchbook, inviting visitors on a whirlwind tour of the medium’s history.
This exhibition at London’s Science Museum offers a fantastic overview of photography through the ages, exploring how it has fundamentally shaped our perception of the world. If you’re looking for photography exhibitions in London, you won’t want to miss this retrospective.

    FERNANDEZ AND WELLS

    In the east wing you will find another branch of one of Culture Whisper's favourite relaxed establishments : Fernandez & Wells. Their signature street-style interior provides an interesting architectural contrast to the grandeur of the overlooked fountain court. In wonderfully light spaces you will find specially commissioned wall drawings by British artist David Tremlett. There is a selection of fine sandwiches, cakes, coffees and single estate teas for the day. We recommend the gazpacho if it is on the menu. For the early evening; cured meats, cheese platters and a great wine list put you in good company.
