Fotografiska runs the world renowned photography museum in Stockholm.  The new premises at The White Chapel Building will be its first gallery outside Stockholm and will be used as Fotografiska – The London Museum of Photography.

Following completion of the works to construct the new office pavilion (which is expected in H2 2018), Fotografiska will take a 15-year lease at a basic annual rent of approximately £2.4 million.

The pre-let means that, since acquiring the vacant White Chapel Building in December 2015, Derwent has completed a successful refurbishment programme and let the whole of the building.  Slaughter and May has advised on each letting.

John Burns, Chief Executive Officer of Derwent London, said:  “We are very excited to welcome Fotografiska - The London Museum of Photography to The White Chapel Building.  We believe their arrival will be a major benefit to the area and Fotografiska’s character endorses the Group’s focus on good design.  This pre-let means that we will have successfully let the entire property.”
