Contemporary Art Gallery Near Me on Savile Row: Sadie Coles HQ

Sadie Coles HQ's newest London gallery is a six-storey Georgian townhouse at 17 Savile Row, London W1S 3PN, open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm. Until 21 November 2026 it holds ten new paintings by Nicole Eisenman, and the same gallery runs two more spaces within walking distance, in Soho and St James's. If you typed contemporary art gallery near me while standing among the tailors of Mayfair, this is the address to try first, then use it as the start of a three-stop walk.

Sadie Coles opened her gallery in April 1997 after six years working for the dealer Anthony d'Offay. Its first show, at 35 Heddon Street, was by the American painter John Currin. The gallery says it has operated from a variety of spaces since, and The Art Newspaper counted Savile Row as the tenth location it has used in London's West End. In September 2013 it opened 62 Kingly Street in Soho, in April 2021 a two-floor space at 8 Bury Street in St James's, and in October 2025 this townhouse.

Savile Row replaced the gallery's Davies Street space, whose lease ended after ten years; the last show there closed on 12 April 2025. According to The Art Newspaper, the 18th-century house was restored by the architecture firm Dara Khera/Work Ltd, keeps its period features, and was once home to the Burlington Fine Arts Club, whose members included John Ruskin and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It holds three galleries and the Sadie Coles Books shop, with about 6,000 square feet of exhibition space.

The French-born American painter's show runs from 23 September to 21 November 2026, and every work is dated 2026. The biggest is The Waiter, an oil on canvas about 3.4 by 6.5 metres, in which a waiter with a tray in hand is collapsed into one plane with Stonehenge and a swirling galaxy. The Orgy spreads across six panels for an overall width of about 6.7 metres, so give it a full walk from one end to the other.

For something quieter, find Lissy on a Night without Clouds, a canvas just over two metres tall in deep blue covered in tiny, painstakingly applied dots of white paint. Togetherers is a smaller canvas of roughly 148 by 112 centimetres. The essay on the gallery's site is by the writer Emily LaBarge. The timing is deliberate: this autumn Eisenman also unveils a monumental sculpture in the courtyard of the Royal Academy of Arts, a short walk away, so you can see both in an hour.

A short walk east, at 62 Kingly Street W1B 5QN, Martine Syms's Knot Eye runs from 17 September to 7 November 2026. It pairs two new films with a working concept store. RW-LO, a docu-fantasy set in the Garden District of New Orleans in 2000, lasts about 22 minutes, and Ex Voto, an ensemble piece set in a New York apartment, lasts 17. At the front of the room, the latest version of Dominica Publishing works as both artwork and shop. Budget about forty minutes if you want to watch both films in full rather than catching them halfway through.

At 8 Bury Street SW1Y 6AB, Catherine Murphy's Recent Work is on until 7 November 2026, her second solo exhibition in London. The paintings and drawings come from scenes in and around her home and studio in Poughkeepsie, New York. Tumbled, an oil of about 107 by 132 centimetres, centres on the iridescent drum of a tumble dryer, and graphite drawings such as Jars and TV Tray reward a close look at how she renders ordinary surfaces.

Sadie Coles also books The Royal Institution for talks: on Tuesday 29 September 2026 Eisenman spoke there with the curator Mark Godfrey. That event has passed, but it shows how the programme reaches beyond the walls. If you missed it, the Royal Academy sculpture and the Savile Row canvases together give a fuller picture of her year than either does alone, so plan to see them on the same day.

All three spaces keep the same hours, Tuesday to Saturday 11 am to 6 pm, so a Monday visit finds every door shut. Two of the three shows end on 7 November, and the gallery had not announced anything opening after that when this guide was written, so late October and the first week of November give you the full set. For accessibility questions the gallery asks visitors to email info@sadiecoles.com before coming. It does not accept unsolicited artist submissions. The Kingly Street shop has its own separate entrance next to the gallery.

Two side programmes are worth knowing about. The Shop, a small ground-floor unit the gallery opened in 2022, is lent free of charge to smaller galleries and non-profits, so its occupant changes more often than the main rooms. GARGLE is an invitational series of monthly live events held inside the galleries, with dates posted on the gallery news page, and places are by invitation.

Start on Savile Row, where tailoring houses line both pavements, then cut through to Regent Street and into Kingly Street, which runs parallel behind it toward Carnaby. From there, head south across Piccadilly into St James's for Bury Street, a quiet street of dealers near Jermyn Street. The full loop takes about twenty-five minutes on foot. Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus are the closest Tube stations to the route, and Green Park sits near the St James's end.

Main address: Sadie Coles HQ, 17 Savile Row, London W1S 3PN. Other spaces: 62 Kingly Street, London W1B 5QN, and 8 Bury Street, London SW1Y 6AB. Email: info@sadiecoles.com. Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 11 am to 6 pm at all three. Now showing: Nicole Eisenman at Savile Row until 21 November 2026; Martine Syms, Knot Eye, at Kingly Street and Catherine Murphy, Recent Work, at Bury Street, both until 7 November 2026.
