The World in London is a major public art project initiated by The Photographers’ Gallery, part of the London 2012 Festival. The project brings together 204 specially commissioned photographic portraits of 204 Londoners, each originating from one of the nations competing at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
