London Gallery Weekend (LGW), the biggest gallery weekend event in the world featuring 125 galleries returns for its fifth edition from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th June, 2025.
The weekend offers visitors, curators and collectors from around the UK and abroad an exceptional opportunity to engage with art and artists in a variety of ways, with more than 60 free events taking place across the duration of the weekend. Each of LGW’s three days focuses on one area: starting with Central London on Friday, followed by South London on Saturday and culminating on Sunday in the East End. Participating galleries will be open across the three days, from 11am-6pm on Friday 6th June & Saturday 7th June, and from 12-5pm on Sunday 8th June.
As a Community Interest Corporation, LGW continues its mission of augmenting local and international awareness of the city’s extensive gallery sector as the largest peer-led initiative of its kind in the art world. The event has proven itself a driving force in building resilience and interconnectivity in the UK arts sector, enhancing collaboration and mutual support across public and commercial realms.
