Art lover? You really can’t get much better than London. Not only do you have all of the world-leading permanent collections of our namesake art galleries and museums at your disposal, you also have high end commercial galleries, amazing local community spaces and outdoor public art on every other corner – and that’s before we get onto the exciting, constantly-evolving calendar of temporary exhibitions. In other words, there is a hell of a lot of art to see in this city, especially in 2025.
Some might say there’s even too much art to see – and what a problem to have. That’s where we come in. Time Out has been sending experts to review all of the major exhibitions in London, as well as a lot of the smaller ones, for decades. Working out what is actually good, and what is not, is our job: be it sculpture, painting, performance art, photography or anything in between.
Check out our list of the best art we’ve seen recently, and check back in for updates every week. These are the best exhibitions in London right now.
