Ridley Road in the heart of the London’s borough of Hackney is renowned as an iconic market. On most days it is crowded with tradespeople and shoppers.
Over the years it has come to represent the rapidly changing face of London street life, its multiculturalism and changing demographic.
Above all it is a place brimming with energy, colour and the richness of human life. All these aspects are beautifully captured in this significant exhibition.
