One of London’s ‘ugliest’ buildings will soon have three new public art galleries

London already boasts a formidable art and gallery scene – and soon it's getting three more arty institutions. Even more intriguingly, they’ll be inside one of the most aesthetically controversial buildings in the city (and City): No 1 Poultry.

The new galleries have been launched by art charity Hypha Studios, and they’ll open next week (on September 24). The venues will then be open to the public for 12 months and totally free to access.
