Come experience the magical atmosphere of the Pullens Yards Winter Open Studios, complete with entertainment plus tasty food and coffee from The Electric Elephant Cafe & Gallery. This creative community is home to artists, architects, designers and craftspeople, including two lute makers. Work by Pullens artists and designers has appeared at the Royal Academy, Tate Britain, the V&A, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Downing Street and in Vogue, Liberty, Fortnum & Mason and Harrods. Fans of jewellery and fashion from Pullens designers include Kate Moss, Amy Winehouse and Vivienne Westwood. Visit over 40 workshops and meet our resident artists and many visiting artists.

The Pullens Yards were built as an estate of artisan live-work units in the 1870s. Today's artists and designers continue the traditions in the charming cobbled yards. The characterful location is ideal for movie-makers. Clint Eastwood filmed scenes from Hereafter here, and the entire area was used as a set location for The King's Speech, starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter and Michael Gambon.

Many images available, including product shots and dramatic photos from the filming of The King's Speech.
