Best Art Fairs In London 2025
Treasure House
London’s quintessentially British summer art fair will return in June, offering a unique blend of hand-picked treasures from near and far. It’s as festival for art lovers and appreciators as much as it is for collectors – though those who fall into the latter camp can consider the wares of 70 internationally renowned exhibitors, spanning fine art, furniture, antiquities, jewellery, watches and classic cars. After an afternoon of perusing, refuel at the aptly named Refuel Café, a feast for eyes and soul as well as stomach, with summer solstice inspired interiors by Kit Kemp Design Studio.
Details: Treasure House will return to The Royal Hospital Chelsea (London SW3 4SR) from 26 June to 1 July 2025. treasurehousefair.com
Affordable Art Fair
This iconic British institution has spread its wings overseas in recent years, but Affordable Art Fair will always call London its home. The first of its three annual events in the capital comes to Battersea every Spring, showcasing the work of some of the most exciting artists working today, with all pieces priced between £100 and £10,000. For a fun, more unique evening exploring the art on offer, visit Art After Dark Lates featuring DJs and drinks and creative workshops with incredible artists.
Details: Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring ran 12–16 March 2025 in Battersea Park (London SW11 4NJ). The Hampstead edition ran 7–11 May 2025 on Hampstead Heath, and Battersea Autumn will return from 15–19 October 2025. Tickets start from £14pp and can be booked at affordableartfair.com

London Design Festival
The London Design Festival will return to the capital this September for its 23rd edition, complete with an eclectic mix of events, exhibitions and installations. The whole idea is to underscore the British capital’s position at the very forefront of design innovation, drawing on practitioners, innovators, retailers and educators to prove it. The vision remains strong 22 years on, and London Design Festival is best known for its democratisation of art and design: with free-to-see installations across the city, anyone and everyone can enjoy the wonder of design.
Details: London Design Festival will return to London from 13 to 21 September 2025. Find out more at londondesignfestival.com

PAD London
The prestigious PAD art fair was founded in 1997 in Paris by Patrick Perrin, with the first London edition running 10 years later in Hanover Square. Now set in Mayfair’s Berkeley Square, PAD London is the only fair in the UK exclusively dedicated to 20th-century and contemporary Design. It was designed to inspire collectors, art consultants, museum experts and interior designers – but if you don’t fall into any of these categories, it’s also just a lovely place to browse.
Details: PAD will return to Berkley Square from 14 to 19 October 2025. padesignart.com

Frieze London
Perhaps London’s most renowned art fair, Frieze is certainly one of the biggest. Spread across Regent’s Park are three interconnected fairs: Frieze Sculpture, Frieze London and Frieze Masters. Frieze is all about contemporary art, from emerging to established artists – but you can get your pre-21st century fix at Frieze Masters. A programme of talks and special projects make this one of the more talked about London art fairs of the season.
Details: Frieze London runs 15–19 October 2025 in Regent’s Park. Tickets will be available to book closer to the time at frieze.com
