It is with great sadness that after nearly 27 years, we are closing our Islington store on Saturday 27th January, due to an increase in our rent.

"The Only Place For Pictures", including our fabulous bespoke picture framing workshop, will continue to operate in Palmers Green,
just 20 mins on the overground from Highbury & Islington station.

A big thank you for your fantastic support over the years.

David & Teresa.
