ABBEY TAXI (formerly known as Taxi Gallery*) was a neighbourhood landmark and shelter for information, conversation and exchange. Artist, Kirsten Lavers, the onsite caretaker and welcomed proposals from local and translocal participants.

ABBEY TAXI operated from Jan 2006 - October 2011. The Taxi has now left Stanesfield Rd to become a Banger Racer.

*Taxi Gallery was a project initiated by artist, Kirsten Lavers. It set out to provide a supportive opportunity for artists wishing to make work for the particular context that it offered and was committed to an extended conversation with local and translocal audiences in response to a broad range of artworks, approaches and ideas.

After over 30 exhibitions since September 2002, Taxi Gallery closed in November 2005.
