Other People's Photographs The Leas

A small gallery tucked into the clifftop promenade at The Leas in Folkestone, Other People's Photographs does exactly what the name suggests - it shows work by photographers who aren't household names. The space itself is intimate, more living room than gallery, and the rotating exhibitions tend toward the personal and documentary rather than the glossy editorial stuff you'd find in London.

It's the sort of place you stumble upon during a walk along the seafront rather than plan a trip around, which is part of its charm. The work on display changes regularly, so there's genuinely something different to see if you visit twice in a season. Photography enthusiasts will find it worthwhile, particularly if you're interested in contemporary British photographers doing unglamorous, honest work.

Unfortunately, details about opening hours and admission fees are thin on the ground. It's worth ringing ahead or checking their social media before making the journey. Allow 30-45 minutes to look properly at the photographs without rushing.

If you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Varne Ridge is closest at under three miles away - The Leas itself is brilliant for a longer walk. The promenade stretches for a fair distance, and on a clear day you can see across to France. The gallery fits naturally into a morning exploring Folkestone's regenerated waterfront rather than being a destination in its own right.
