In July, we distributed disposable film cameras to individuals with firsthand experience of homelessness from the Crypt of St Paul's Cathedral, London. The exhibition here displays the city as photographed between July 17 and 24, 2026. This year we gave the all photographers the chance to be selected for the 2027 MYLONDON calendar.

This year, a special collection of Christmas cards featuring dazzling Christmas lights and window displays from some of London’s most iconic shopping streets is capturing hearts. Three talented MYLONDON photographers ventured out in mid-November to capture the magic of Christmas lights along Regent Street, Oxford Street, Knightsbridge and the Thames. The result is
