Last Thursday evening saw Over-Seas House at full capacity for the highly anticipated opening to Illustrated Guide to London, our blockbuster Summer exhibition. With 250+ guests it was a truly remarkable occasion enjoyed by all, including the exhibiting artists, friends and family and even a cameo from some of London's local celebrities.
Illustrated Guide to London, which is on view in the Central Lounge until 25 September brings together a curated collection of artists and designers who have captured the essence of London in both a commercial and artistic sense.
The exhibition which spans the ground and 1st floors, includes a commission of Royal Over-Seas League's Over-Seas House drawn by illustrator Katie Ponder, who recently designed the 2022 Royal Mail Christmas stamp Nativity series.
Ponder's print series as well as many of the artworks on display are available to purchase, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for availability.
