The London Art Fair 2026 is returning for its 38th edition from Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 January. The Private View takes place on 20 January.

London Art Fair was founded in 1989 by London’s Business Design Centre in Islington, where the Fair still takes place today, with the aim of providing a space to showcase exceptional Modern and Contemporary Art, to discover and to buy.

LAF has grown steadily over the years with well over 100 galleries now regularly exhibiting and 25,000 visitors attending the Fair. London Art Fair provides an established home for Modern British Art, whilst embracing an increasingly international and contemporary outlook, with new galleries from around the world.

The Museum Partner in 2026 is the National Trust, with a spotlight on the legacy of 20th-century modern art and architecture in its care today.

The National Trust cares for places so people and nature can thrive. Among these are 2 Willow Road in London and The Homewood in Surrey – two 20th-century modernist houses open for everyone to enjoy.

Launching our anniversary year, we are delighted to be partnering with TM Lighting on our first booth at London Art Fair in January. Our guest curator, Hannah Payne, TM Gallery programme curator, has chosen the theme of HOME, reflecting our anniversary year.
