520			_aSupreme Court judgment 1 February 2023. A central London art gallery was liable in private nuisance to the owners of glass-walled flats which were overlooked by its panoramic viewing platform. Although liability in nuisance could not arise from the mere fact that a building overlooked neighbouring land, the viewing platform was an exceptional use of the gallery's land. It attracted thousands of visitors each week, many of whom peered into, and took photographs of, the interior of the flats. That undoubtedly amounted to a substantial interference with the flats' ordinary use and enjoyment.
