Domo Baal, a founder of London Gallery Day, says she decided to join ranks with her WC1 and EC1 chums after hearing the question ‘are you an East End or a West End gallery?’ one too many times. Strictly speaking, the answer is ‘neither’. But London’s often overlooked central zone – around Bloomsbury, King’s Cross and Clerkenwell – is home to 25 galleries. Baal’s Georgian townhouse is perhaps the most beautiful space of the lot. On Friday April 25, the gallery launches a show by Rachel Adams ( ‘Long Reach’, pictured). Saturday April 26 sees installations and happenings in the building’s former coal cellar.

Gagosian Britannia St
Gagosian Britannia St
One of London's hottest contemporary art galleries, visitors flock to this vast space, part of US super-dealer Larry Gagosian's ever-expanding empire. Located off the usual gallery circuit in King's Cross, it attracts a select crowd of art buffs, students and the odd scenester. The layout is very visitor-friendly with one main room and two smaller ones. Despite its small size Gagosian has hosted shows by seriously big names such as Howard Hodgkin and Francesco Clemente, plus a second tier of fashionable US and European artists including Carsten Höller and Cecily Brown. There's another branch at 17-19 Davies Street, Mayfair, W1K 3DE (7493 3020).
