It’s only fitting that the London Festival of Photography would commemorate the Great British Public at a time when the entire planet will turn their attention on London as the Queen is celebrating 60 years on the thrones and the world’s biggest sport games come to the Great Britain’s capital.

Countless photographers have documented The Great British Public, but only a range of practitioners have been able to document the extremes and quirks of life that makes the country what it is.

The multidisciplinary exhibition will feature the work of Martin Parr and Peter Dench, Ben Roberts, Chris Steele-Perkins, Ewen Spencer and John Angerson, among many others.

“It is rare that such a stellar collection of British artists are shown together in celebration of Britishness - this is one of the festival's headline exhibitions and should not be missed,” say the organisers, who were able to strike a deal with the St Pancras International to host large prints on the concourse of the station.
