Best Art Fairs In London: Autumn 2025
BENDALL, Le Bon Vin
LAPADA Berkeley Square Fair
LAPADA’s annual fair closes the art season, providing the last opportunity to purchase beautiful and extraordinary pieces from an art fair before Christmas. This year’s LAPADA Fair showcases over 100 specialist dealers across fine art, antiques, watches, furniture and design, as well an new exclusive partnership with Haute Jewels bringing exceptional curation of international haute joaillerie to the heart of Mayfair for the very first time. Enjoy onsite dining by Jimmy Garcia and a Fringe programme at locations across Mayfair.
Details: LAPADA returns from 28 October to 2 November 2025 on Berkeley Square.
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 Autumn will return from 15 to 19 October 2025. Tickets start from £14pp.

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 returns to Berkley Square from 14 to 19 October 2025.

FOCUS Art Fair
One of London’s most colourful and joyous art fairs is FOCUS, which takes over Chelsea‘s Saatchi Gallery for one autumn weekend every year. With a focus (ahem) on the hottest new art emerging from Asia (including Korea, Japan, Bali, India, China and More), expect pop art galore, creative innovations and to see the work of artists who rarely exhibit in the UK.
Details: FOCUS Art Fair returns from 16 to 19 October 2025 at Saatchi Gallery (Duke of York’s HQ, King’s Rd, London SW3 4RY). Tickets start from £20pp.

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 to 19 October 2025 in Regent’s Park.
