London Art Fair 2027 — Islington, London

London Art Fair is the UK's premier fair for Modern British and Contemporary art, held each January at the Business Design Centre in Islington. Founded in 1989, it has grown into a cornerstone of the international collecting calendar, welcoming more than 120 leading galleries and around 24,000 visitors per edition. The 2027 fair runs from Wednesday 20 to Sunday 24 January, with a Preview on Tuesday 19 January. Alongside the main gallery presentations, visitors can explore Encounters — a platform for emerging artists and gallerists — and Platform, an annually themed curated section. Sheffield Museums returns as Museum Partner, bringing highlights from the Graves Gallery collection to London. An extensive programme of free talks, tours, live performances and immersive installations runs throughout the week, and the Wednesday Late session (5–9pm) offers an after-hours way to experience the fair. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the art world, London Art Fair is designed to be accessible, with works ranging from prints and editions to major pieces by internationally renowned artists. Getting there is straightforward: the venue sits a five-minute walk from Angel Underground station and about ten minutes from King's Cross St Pancras. Hotels in Islington, Clerkenwell and King's Cross put visitors within easy walking or tube distance of the fair.
