Indica Gallery, Art gallery in Mason's Yard, St James's, London, England
Indica Gallery was an art gallery housed in the basement of a Mason's Yard building, presenting contemporary and experimental exhibitions. The venue functioned as both a display space and a meeting place for artists involved in London's underground movement.
John Dunbar, Barry Miles, and Peter Asher founded the gallery in November 1965 as a center for experimental art. It operated for two years before closing its doors in November 1967.
The space became a gathering place for artists involved in London's underground art scene and displayed work from creators around the world. It offered a venue where experimental forms and alternative viewpoints could come together naturally.
The gallery sits near Piccadilly Circus in St James's and is easy to reach from central London. Being housed underground, visitors should expect to descend stairs to access the exhibition space.
John Lennon first met Yoko Ono in person during her exhibition held at this venue. This chance encounter would go on to spark a major artistic and personal partnership.
