The Bourdon Street Chippy

Lucy Sparrow’s Bourdon Street Chippy opens in London’s Mayfair at the Lyndsey Ingram Gallery this August. Transforming a classic British fish and chip shop into a fully immersive, felt-filled installation. Known for her large-scale textile realities, Lucy has recreated every detail of the beloved  takeaway – from battered cod and chunky chips to curry sauce, pickled eggs, and fizzy drinks – all entirely handmade from felt. With her signature charm and attention to detail, Lucy has turned a familiar high street staple into a tactile celebration of food, memory, and British culture.

Visitors are invited to order their usual Friday night supper, take in the sights of the portrait wall, and pose in front of the wall of sauce for a photo, blurring the boundaries between art installation and nostalgic experience. Every element of the show is hand-sewn, right down to the cutlery and paper cones.

Come and visit The Bourdon Street Chippy from 1st August-14th September, Wed-Sun, 11am-6pm. We can’t wait to see you there!
