A London gallery with real art-history weight. Lisson Gallery, Lisson Street is where Minimalism, Conceptual Art, sculpture, and today’s global contemporary voices meet in one of the city’s most influential gallery spaces.

Founded in 1967, Lisson Gallery is one of the most important international contemporary art galleries in the world, with spaces in London, New York, Los Angeles and Shanghai. Its London presence is rooted in the Lisson Grove / Marylebone area, close to Edgware Road.

The Lisson Street space is located at 67 Lisson Street, London NW1 5DA. The gallery is especially known for its long relationship with Minimal and Conceptual Art, as well as major sculptural and contemporary practices connected to artists such as Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Anish Kapoor, Richard Deacon, Shirazeh Houshiary, Tony Cragg, Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramović, Laure Prouvost and many others.

What you’ll see here

At Lisson Gallery Lisson Street, expect serious contemporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection. Depending on the program, you may encounter sculpture, installation, painting, conceptual works, photography, video or large-scale projects.

You may experience:

  • Museum-level contemporary art in a gallery setting
  • Minimal and Conceptual Art legacies
  • Sculpture and installation
  • International artists with major institutional presence
  • A quieter but highly influential London art stop
  • A gallery experience close to Marylebone, Paddington and Regent’s Park

Worth the trip

The gallery is generally open Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00–18:00, and by appointment.

Yes — especially if you want to understand London’s contemporary art scene beyond the big museums.

What makes Lisson Gallery special is its historical influence. This is not just a commercial gallery showing what is fashionable now; it helped shape how Minimalism, Conceptual Art and contemporary sculpture entered the wider art conversation.

ArtLovers Tip

Visit both nearby Lisson spaces if you can — 67 Lisson Street and 27 Bell Street. Together, they give you a stronger sense of the gallery’s scale, history and curatorial power.

For Artlovers, it is worth including because it shows a different side of London: not only Tate, the National Gallery or the Royal Academy, but the gallery ecosystem where artists, ideas, collectors and future museum histories are constantly being made.
