Accessibility
We warmly welcome all visitors to Ibraaz. Our space at 93 Mortimer Street is housed within a Grade II listed building, with our programme spanning four floors accessible via stairs and a small lift.
For wheelchair users, a ramp is available at the main entrance for access to the ground floor. Due to the constraints of the existing lift (approximately 68cm wide by 50cm), wheelchair users are currently limited to the ground floor level, which accesses our main exhibition space, cafe, and bookshop.
We’re committed to making every visit as comfortable as possible and are happy to offer assistance wherever we can.
For any access-related queries or support, please contact us at enquiries@ibraaz.org.

A living history, the transformation of 93 Mortimer Street
A building with a rich and varied past, 93 Mortimer Street has continually evolved to reflect the changing fabric of London itself. Once home to a synagogue, it later became the London Galvanic Hospital and, subsequently, the first base of the German Athenaeum, a vibrant club for artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs.
Today, the site’s architecture has been reimagined as a living, responsive framework shaped by the communities it welcomes. This transformation, led by Architect in Residence Sumayya Vally, founder of the studio Counterspace, continues her exploration of architecture as a social and cultural practice. Known for her acclaimed Serpentine Pavilion commission, Vally approaches architecture not as something static, but as a fluid, relational form, one that grows and changes through use and interaction.
Her vision embodies the ethos of Ibraaz, a participatory process continually reshaped by those who inhabit and engage with it.
