Buried away in a cobbled mews off Russell Square, is the Horse Hospital.  In its Victorian heyday, this really was a sanctuary for sick horses, as the cobbled floors and the slated ramps instead of stairs will attest.

However, today this is a self-styled Chamber of Pop Culture, where an audience of eccentrics enjoys the most eclectic line-up of art events in London, from cult films to performance poets and clairvoyant workshops. In fact, anything goes – as long as it is defiantly anti-establishment.

The Horse Hospital, as it is today, was founded in 1993 by stylist and costume designer Richard Burton, one of the pioneers of punk fashion, together with Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren.

The current exhibition is a retrospective by the polish artist Ariela Widzer.  Her work concerns figurative manifestations of the occult and mysticism and is very apt for this atmospheric but more than slightly spooky space – only in London.
