The London Youth Portraits with Derek Ridgers | Museum of Youth Culture I don't really know if I've always been interested in people. When I was a teenager and art student I didn't even have an interest in being a photographer.

Join us in our Cafe Bar and Bookshop this Thursday for the launch of Derek Ridgers' latest book: The London Youth Portraits, published by ACC Art Books.

Between 1978 and 1987, renowned British photographer Derek Ridgers captured London youth culture in all its glory. With skinheads, punks and new romantics, in clubs and on the street, his images have come to define a seminal decade of British subculture.

Broadly based on the now out of print book 78/87 London Youth, this showcases a completely fresh selection of images from the depths of Ridgers’ exceptional archive – including many previously unseen – beautifully printed and bound in an oversized volume.

Preorder signed copies on our bookshop website now!
