Opera Gallery

Opera Gallery unlocks its door on a Sunday, which almost nothing else on New Bond Street does. It trades from midday to 5pm when the rest of the street is shutters and hotel lobbies.

That single fact reshapes a weekend itinerary, and it is deliberate rather than accidental. The gallery opened this space on 23 November 2023, extending a Mayfair presence it had already held for years, and it keeps longer weekday hours than most of its neighbours as well.

Where to find an art gallery open Sunday London visitors can walk into

Modern masters hang alongside established and emerging contemporary artists, a wider span than most single-city dealers attempt, because the group runs spaces across Europe, Asia and the Americas and can move work between them. Exhibitions rotate every few weeks.

Buying, or just looking

This is a dealer, so most of what is hanging is for sale and the staff will say so plainly. Nobody minds a visitor who has come to look, and on a Sunday afternoon looking is largely what happens.
