3-11 Westland Place is home to painters, printmakers, sculptors,

and installation artists. The building represents the creative diversity

associated with Hoxton, and demonstrates the breadth of talent and

artistic accomplishment within East London .

There have been artist’s studios at Westland Place for 20 years, making

this one of the longest running creative centres in the Hoxton / Old St

area.

21 studios, spread over four floors of this former tobacco industry

factory, house the workspaces of 23 artists. Their work spans a large

range of art disciplines and creative approaches making this an exciting

creative environment for all working in the building as well those visiting.

Each studio is as unique as the endeavours of the artist working within

it.

The studios are located just five minutes walk from Old Street

underground station, round the corner from the iconic Shepherdess

Café, and sandwiched between Jamie Oliver's restaurant Fifteen. Open

Studios 2012 coincides with Jamie Oliver’s fifteen 10th anniversary
