Victoria Miro first opened her gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair in 1985. The gallery quickly earned acclaim for showing the work of established and emerging artists from the USA, Europe and Asia, and for nurturing the careers of young artists from the UK. In 2000 Victoria Miro relocated to a former furniture factory situated between Hoxton and Islington in northeast London. With exhibition spaces on two floors, the gallery is unique in London for having its own beautifully landscaped water garden, overlooking a restored stretch of the Regent's Canal at Wenlock Basin. In October 2006 the gallery expanded further by opening a second exhibition and viewing space in an adjoining building on Wharf Road. In October 2013 Victoria Miro opened a third space in the heart of London's Mayfair.
