Quentin Blake Centre brings ‘illustration to life’ to London
Work is underway on a national centre for illustration celebrating the work of much-loved artist Quentin Blake.
The project, to convert a historic waterworks in Clerkenwell into the ‘world’s largest’ arts space dedicated to illustration, is set to open in early 2026.
Islington-based illustrator Marion Deuchars and Quentin Blake’s creative consultant Claudia Zeff joined the project team as a modern partition within the historic Coal Stores was demolished, opening it up to become the largest of four new exhibition spaces.
