The Horse Hospital is a Grade II listed[1] not for profit, independent arts venue at Colonnade, Bloomsbury, central London.[2] Its curatorial focus is on counter-cultural histories, sub-cultures, outsiders and emerging artists. It organizes underground film screenings and exhibitions.[3] Founded in 1992 by Roger K. Burton,[4] the venue opened with Vive Le Punk!, a retrospective of Vivienne Westwood's punk designs in 1993.[5]
The building was originally built by James Burton in 1797 as stabling for cab drivers' sick horses.
