Few cities around the world can rival with London when it comes to art fairs. The British capital simply has something for everyone, from affordable fairs where you can purchase originals at as low as £50, to special events where work by Picasso, Miro, and other great artists is featured. The following contemporary art fairs will take place either this summer or in the coming autumn.

Masterpiece at South Grounds, Royal Hospital Chelsea (30 June to 5 July)

Featuring a huge variety of top works from artists around the world, Masterpiece brings together under the same roof contemporary works and antiques. In this fair the focus will be on high-quality art.

Ceramics in the City at Geffrye Museum (16 to 18 September)

As the name implies, the focus in this exhibition is on ceramics. Artists featured range from the well-established to the young and vibrant who you most likely haven't heard of yet. Items you can buy include tableware and lamps – all guaranteed to be functional!

LAPADA at Berkeley Square (21 to 26 September)

Although focusing on antiques, LAPADA also features a wide variety of contemporary fine art. It's run by the most numerous associations of antique dealers in the United Kingdom, so it's guaranteed to be a success.

Expected to be a paradise for collectors interested in furniture and home accessories, Tent features the hottest designs from UK and foreign artists. Tent is one of those fairs where you get to know the latest trends and discover emerging designers.
