Tate Modern privacy case: Flat owners win privacy case in Supreme Court

The owners of four luxury flats next to Tate Modern art gallery have won a privacy case. The Supreme Court has observed that even though flats are located next to the Tate Modern art gallery, residents are entitled to a privacy from the daily visitors from the public viewing platform of Tate Modern art gallery, according to reports.

Neo Bankside residents claimed that their privacy was violated by visitors to the London gallery. The residents wanted that authorities must cordon off the viewing area.

Earlier, the Court of Appeal and the High Court favoured the gallery authorities. However, the residents approached the Supreme Court. The judgement was 3-2 in favour of residents.


The platform was inaugurated in 2016. Subsequently, gallery authorities said that owners of the flats knew that platform was scheduled to be opened.

The posh flats located on the South Bank of the Thames are priced at £3.4 million.
