491 Gallery, Alternative art space in Leytonstone, London, United Kingdom
The 491 Gallery occupied a converted factory at 491 Grove Green Road, featuring multiple studios for various artistic disciplines and exhibitions.
Founded in 2001 after a group of artists transformed an abandoned storage building, the gallery operated until its closure in January 2013.
The venue provided space for contemporary art exhibitions, music performances, workshops, and community events throughout its twelve-year existence.
Located near public transportation routes, the gallery maintained operations through community donations and offered rehearsal spaces for local musicians.
The property included a community garden with hundreds of plant species, created from a former construction debris site.
