Back by popular demand, London Gallery Weekend opens for its third edition from June 2-4. With a host of free events across the city, galleries – old and new – will open their doors to welcome art enthusiasts, budding collectors and the creatively curious alike.

In celebration of London’s enduring creative scene, fueled by artistic veterans and emerging scene shakers, the weekend marks the world’s largest gallery-led event of its kind. Featuring over 120 participants, from old-guard establishments like the White Cube and Hauser & Wirth to those spaces bubbling up at the surface, such as Guts Gallery and Rose Eaton.

The weekend will also feature an expansive performance programme across the capital, a series of curated routes by leading art world figures, late-night openings and exciting workshops.

So if you're in the city this weekend and fancy some artistic indulgence we've rounded up the best of London Gallery Weekend.
