Upside Down London 

A Camera Obscura at Alexandra Palace

Pinhole London built a brand new pop-up camera obscura at Alexandra Palace. A natural phenomenon where light projects the world outside — step inside and watch the park, skyline and people passing by appear before you, upside down.

Pinhole London partnered with disability groups across Haringey as part of a creative health programme, with public sessions in August 2026.

Funded by Arts Council England and evaluated by Breathe Arts Health Research, the project builds vital evidence for sensory and arts-based approaches to wellbeing.
