Maudsley Long Gallery and ORTUS
A Maudsley Charity grant enabled the transformation of a disused hospital corridor into a public art space at the Maudsley Long Gallery in Denmark Hill; we also own the award-winning ORTUS building, a hidden gem of a hi-tech events and education venue with a friendly public café and workspace area.
