A brief review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in photonic final states at LEP is given here. These include searches for supersymmetry, large extra dimensions and contact interactions. Recent results from all four LEP experiments are presented, including improved limits on the new scale of gravity for models with large extra dimensions and the most precise direct measurement of the number of light neutrino species. Status and prospects of the LEP combined searches are also discussed.
