Mayfair is the undisputed centre of London's art market. The concentration of galleries, auction houses, and private dealers within a few streets of Cork Street, Bond Street, and Dover Street rivals — and in many ways surpasses — anything you'll find in Chelsea, New York or Paris.
From old masters at Colnaghi to cutting-edge contemporary at White Cube, from Christie's salerooms to the intimate private dealers who operate by appointment only — Mayfair offers the full spectrum of the art world. Our directory lists 8 curated art and antiques businesses in the area.
Cork Street & Surrounds
Cork Street has been synonymous with London galleries since the 1940s. After a comprehensive redevelopment, the street has returned with a mix of established names and newer arrivals. The surrounding lanes — Clifford Street, Burlington Gardens, Savile Row's gallery spaces — extend the gallery district well beyond its traditional boundaries.

Visiting Tips
Most Mayfair galleries are open Tuesday to Saturday, typically 10am to 6pm. Many hold private views on Thursday evenings — check individual gallery websites for invitations. The twice-yearly Cork Street Open shows bring exceptional footfall and are worth timing a visit around.
Auction previews at Christie's and Bonhams are open to the public and offer a remarkable free art experience, particularly during the major sales seasons in February, June, and October.
