A new art gallery opened its doors for the first time on Friday with more than 150 people celebrating the launch of what is being described as ‘a gallery with a difference’.

British sculptor Carl Payne was among those present to see the unveiling of London Row on Baldock High Street, a sister gallery to Gallery 1066 on Hitchin Street.

Gallery owner Hayley Norman said: “With London Row firmly on the map we are looking forward to continually bringing new talent and a range of refreshing original gift ideas from around the world. London Row will boast some of the world’s most acclaimed contemporary artist’s works right here on your doorstep.”
