Bridge Art Fair: Bridge was a lot of fun at the Catalina Hotel in Miami last year: predictably hit and miss, but with some genuine (good) surprises. They’ve decided to bring the hotel fair vibe to London, though I presume they’ll not be offering brunch around the courtyard fountains. Not unless they want to risk rain-sodden scones.

Bridge Art Fair location and travel notes: You might want to try tagging your visit to the Bridge Art Fair on to your trip to Zoo. If the weather’s decent, you’ll be able to enjoy a classic walk across the real heart of London, and past some of its best-known landmarks. You’re heading toward the Trafalgar Hotel on a little street called Spring Gardens, just off the Mall on the other side of Admiralty Arch from Trafalgar Square. Cor’ Blimey! Just hearing those names, I can hear “God Save the Queen” in my head. It’s not a long walk, but it’s a bit complicated to describe, and though London is actually at its most grid-like around here, it’s also full of little back alleys and dead ends. This is where that “London A-Z” will be worth its weight in pound coins. If it’s raining, take a taxi.

Year_07: This is the fair that called itself “Year_06” last time around. (How bothersome to have to change the name every year!) They claim their style is youthful and alternative, and they do have a number of New York’s cooler galleries here, as well as an impressive international roster.

Year_07 location and travel notes: This is another location with a bit of art-historical credibility to it: County Hall was once home to the Saatchi Gallery. Just south of the river across Westminster Bridge, and right by the London Eye, it should be easier to get to than it is. From Frieze, take the Bakerloo Line tube south from Regent’s Park to Waterloo and ask for directions to County Hall when you get there. Or take a taxi.

Cheers!
