About
The Lethaby Gallery is dedicated to the creative talents of students, staff and alumni of Central Saint Martins. From fashion and art to design and performance, it publicly celebrates the College’s past and present while enthusing/stimulating/inspiring and provoking about our collective futures.
With its doors opening onto Granary Square at King’s Cross, the Lethaby Gallery delivers an ever-changing insight into one of the world’s best arts and design colleges.
Founded in 1896, the gallery was named after the founding head of the Central School of Art and Design – later Central Saint Martins – William Richard Lethaby, whose teaching bridged the gap between the academic and the practical, the thought and the thing, a practice which continues at the College today.
