Venue Description

Lightroom is a new home for spectacular artist-led shows. Launching our programme with a collaboration with David Hockney in February 2023, we invite the world’s leading creative minds to use our vast space and revolutionary technology to create something completely new. Our newest show The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks is open at Lightroom until 13 October 2024. For tickets and more information please visit the event page. From 17 June – 6 October 2024, our debut show David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) will return to Lightroom to run alongside The Moonwalkers. For tickets and more information please visit the event page. Lightroom is located in King’s Cross on Lewis Cubitt Square, adjacent to Coal Drops Yard and Central St Martin’s. The innovative showspace was designed by 59 Productions in close collaboration with Haworth Tompkins, who have designed the venue as a sister space to the award-winning Bridge Theatre. Along with a generous Foyer and gift shop, the space also contains a bar and seating area in collaboration with St John.
