London Art Fair 2026

The city’s flagship art fair returns to kick off 2026, showcasing modern British and contemporary art.


Overview: Galleries from around the world present works ranging from established 20th-century masters to emerging contemporary talent. Special sections like “Prints & Editions” and large-scale curated installations add depth.


Tickets: Expect similar pricing as 2025 (~£20 general admission). A VIP Preview Evening is on 20 January 2026 – usually by invitation or higher-tier ticket that includes drinks and first access to art pieces.


Travel Tips: As before, use public transport (Angel station) or taxis, as parking in Islington is scarce. Consider planning a gallery-hop weekend: other London art events often cluster around this week (e.g., The Decorative Antiques Fair in Battersea).


Dress Code: Art-world chic (stylish yet comfortable). You’ll see everything from sharp suits to avant-garde attire.


Insider Tip: Attend one of the fair’s guided tours or panel talks – they often feature art experts or artists discussing collecting trends. If you’re looking to buy, the final day (Sunday) can sometimes present an opportunity to negotiate on remaining unsold works.
