Mayor Gallery, Commercial art gallery in London
Mayor Gallery is an art gallery in London specializing in modern and contemporary works. The space displays paintings, sculptures, installations, and digital art across well-lit rooms arranged to focus on individual pieces.
Founded in 1925, the gallery introduced European and American art movements to Britain and helped establish its identity in the art world. In the 1970s, it shifted focus toward American art, featuring Pop art and Conceptual works alongside Abstract expressionism.
The gallery sits in St. James's, a neighborhood shaped by art dealers and collectors who built London's modern art scene. Visitors can see how this location became a hub where European and American artists first presented their work to British audiences.
The gallery is located on Bury Street in West London and opens on weekday mornings and afternoons. Visitors should plan their visit during standard business hours, as weekend and holiday schedules may differ.
The gallery was a founding member of the Unit One group in 1933, created to promote modern design in art and architecture. Artists like Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth formed this network to spread fresh artistic ideas across Britain.
