Seven new brands open at The Whiteley, Bayswater

The Whiteley, a £1.5 billion restoration of London’s first department store in Bayswater, has reached a major milestone with the opening of seven new retail and cultural brands. Among the new tenants is 3812 Gallery, which has relocated its program of contemporary Chinese art to a 2,800-square-foot space within the development. The broader £3 billion regeneration of Queensway includes luxury fitness, dining, and cinema concepts alongside the new gallery space.

This art collector went from running his own marketing firm to opening galleries in Hong Kong and London

Calvin Hui, a Hong Kong native who began collecting art as a student with a print by Joan Miró, has turned his passion into a career. After buying his first 'serious' work—Jar with Horizontal Colour Bars (2005) by Farhad Moshiri—he expanded his collection and eventually opened 3812 Gallery in Hong Kong in 2011, specializing in Chinese contemporary art and ink works. In 2018, he and a co-founder opened a second gallery in London’s Mayfair, which is set to relocate to The Whiteley London. Hui previously ran his own public relations, events, and marketing firm before transitioning to the art world.
