The Piccadilly Gallery was an art gallery which operated from a number of addresses in London between 1953 and 2007. The Pilkington Gallery was founded in 1953 by Eve Pilkington and her late husband Godfrey Pilkington. The following year they were joined by Christabel Briggs. In 2007, following the passing of co-founder Godfrey, the gallery closed their public store front. Over half a century of trade, they cut an individual path, avoiding the prevailing commercialism and the fashion for abstract art. They championed the works of unjustly neglected figurative artists, Art Nouveau and 19th and 20th Century Symbolism.
