Itchy review of The Photographers' Gallery
Another of those places you should note down in case of Leicester Square hell type emergency. This café provides an oasis amid the gallery (which is free entry) and somewhere to tuck into sandwiches, cakes and coffee without having to fight through a German bowling team and seven screaming Japanese girls who’ve got you mixed up with the ugly one out of S Club 7. Perfect.
Lonely Planet review of The Photographers' Gallery
This tiny two-part gallery may be small in size, but it's certainly got a big reputation in the photography world. It won't even be that small come 2008, since plans are underway to relocate to 16-18 Ramillies St in Soho with the new premises designed by O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects. The prestigious Deutsche Börse Photography Competition (annually 9 February to 8 April) is of major importance for contemporary photographers; past winners include Richard Billingham, Luc Delahaye, Andreas Gursky, Boris Mikhailov and Juergen Teller. The gallery is always exhibiting excellent and thought-provoking photographers. The next-door café and exhibition space is a great place to sit in peace during weekdays, and the shop is great for photography books and quirky gifts.

Recurring event
This exhibition will be the first solo show in the UK of this Magnum photographer. D'Agata's subject matter relies on chance encounters with people and places and these photographs are the consequences of these liasons. Raw and often challenging in subject matter, the images allude to an intense, often sexually charged, nocturnal world at the juncture of dream and awakening, and thinking and feeling. The images from Insomnia present a fragmented, nomadic visual journey, epitomising what d'Agata describeThis exhibition will be the first solo show in the UK of this Magnum photographer.
