New home for the House of Illustration

Currently based in Kings Cross, the House of Illustration is set to move to a restored New River Head building in Islington. It’s also changing its name to the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration.
When it opens in the autumn of 2022, it aims to be the world’s largest public arts space dedicated to illustration.
