ABOUT LIGHTROOM

Lightroom is a new permanent projection-based arts venue which opened in Kings Cross, London in February 2023. Created through a joint venture between 59 Studio and London Theatre Company, Lightroom creates remarkable artist-led shows for audiences in London and across the world.

We invite the world’s leading creative minds to use our vast space and revolutionary technology to create something completely new. We launched in February 2023 with Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away), a collaboration with artist David Hockney. Our second critically acclaimed show, The Moonwalkers : A Journey with Tom Hanks, about the Apollo and Artemis missions to the moon was created, co-written and narrated by Tom Hanks. In November, 2024, we launched Vogue : Inventing the Runway, made in collaboration with the esteemed publication and Anna Wintour. In summer 2025, we will open Prehistoric Planet : Discovering Dinosaurs in collaboration with Apple TV+. Lightroom aims to be the home of stories from the world’s most exciting voices across all disciplines of the arts, music, popular science or beyond, with an extensive slate of remarkable talent and IP in development.

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 Studio in close collaboration with Haworth Tompkins, who 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. In late 2023, Lightroom Seoul opened in the South Korean capital. The Moonwalkers will open in January 2025 in Houston, Texas at the Space Center for a two-year installation and numerous sites are under agreement for international expansion.
