Art exhibitions in London: what is on right now
Every exhibition worth the trip that is open in London today, soonest closing first, with the free ones marked. We list the late openings separately because a gallery at eight on a Friday is a different place from the same gallery at two on a Saturday. Checked and rebuilt every month.
What to expect
41 listings filed under Exhibitions. The busiest rooms are Science Museum, V&A and Tate Modern. Concentrated in South Kensington, Westminster and Soho.

Showing this weekend, in Kensington. Clear

25 October-
Exhibitions From £25
Kensington Palace and the sunken garden
The state apartments are ticketed, but the sunken garden outside them is free and is the bit most people photograph. Go on a weekday morning and the King's Staircase is almost empty.

Exhibitions Free
Free entry: the Design Museum
The permanent collection upstairs costs nothing and takes about an hour. The building is the old Commonwealth Institute, and the roof is worth standing under before you look at anything.
-
Exhibitions From £11
Leighton House, the Arab Hall
A Victorian painter built himself a house with a domed hall of Damascus tiles in it, and it is still there. Small, so an hour does it, and rarely busy.
