Highlights from the second edition of the vibrant London event
Mount Street Neighbourhood Festival returns from 4 – 20 June – a gathering of art, craft, books and conversation across Mayfair and beyond
Mount Street Neighbourhood Festival 2026: The C&TH Guide
Mount Street is one of Mayfair’s most unique streets: archetypal red-brick townhouses; a world-class collective of galleries, restaurants and retail; and a long history of cultural occupancy. Sir Winston Churchill lived at no. 105 for half a decade, and the street has been home to Britain’s leading art dealers, writers and gentry for generations. This June, Mount Street Neighbourhood Festival – encompassing South Audley Street, Carlos Place and neighbouring destinations – returns for its second edition.
Timed to coincide with London Gallery Weekend, the programme has a particular emphasis on art while also drawing on the neighbourhood’s deep foothold in publishing, fashion and food. A cultural hub at 62 South Audley Street will anchor the programme, with contributions from Thames & Hudson, Kathryn Maple, By Walid and Le Monde Béryl, among others. Mount Street will also be bursting with new openings, including Adam Lippes and Foundrae.
