London Art Fair at Business Design Centre, Islington, London

This excellent art fair, now in its 32nd year. Is a good showcase to see modern and contemporary art of our time, and buy if you like what you see.

The fair’s director is the charming and elegant Sarah Monk who enjoys her role with obvious joy and pride; as well she might for what is the best annual event of its type in London.

The Business Design Centre used to be the Royal Agricultural Hall, built in 1862, and my own link with it is that my great grandfather, Frederick Freeman-Lloyd, used to judge at dog shows there about 120 years ago, he was probably a judge at Cruft’s when it was there.

There is much to see, some excellent and some pretentious, typical of any art show!
