Visiting each and every one may take some time, but if you’ve a day to spare this summer, try out this winding route from Bond Street to Piccadilly Circus. To mark the launch of the Mayfair & St James’s Gallery Map, we’ve plotted out a course that leads you through vintage photography, international abstract painting and contemporary sculpture. Just remember to leave time for a good deal of window shopping on the way…

David Hockney: The Yosemite Suite

Annely Juda – 28 June –19 August

Halfway between Oxford Circus and Bond Street stations lies Dering Street, home to three galleries including Annely Juda. It’s currently showing David Hockney RA’s Yosemite Suite; 29 drawings completed on iPad. Originally presented at the Royal Academy’s 2012 A Bigger Picture exhibition, this gives Hockney devotees another chance to appreciate the artist’s versatility.

Terence Donovan: Speed of Light

Photographers’ Gallery, 15 July – 25 September

A slight detour that’s well worth it, the Photographers’ Gallery sits tucked away on Ramillies St, just north of Soho. It charges a minimal £3 entry fee after 12pm, but is free to enter in the mornings. Its current exhibition is the first major retrospective of Terence Donovan, the photographer famed for shots capturing the swinging sixties in London.

Yayoi Kusama: My Eternal Soul paintings

Victoria Miro Mayfair, 25 May – 30 July

Wandering back along Great Marlborough Street and onto Maddox Street, you’ll find Victoria Miro Mayfair on the corner of St George Street. While the northeast London Miro space has been taken over by iconic Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s immersive mirrored rooms, here it’s her colourful, abstract paintings that take centre stage.

Mark Grotjahn: Pink Cosco

Gagosian, 24 June – 17 September

Continuing on to Grosvenor Street then taking a left will lead you to one of the two Gagosian galleries in Mayfair. This summer, the Grosvenor Hill space will be filled with the American abstract artist Mark Grotjahn’s painted bronze sculptures.

Daniel Sinsel

Sadie Coles HQ, 14 July – 27 August

Just a few minutes walk away lies another gallery with two Mayfair outlets: Sadie Coles HQ. Established favourite Daniel Sinsel returns for his fifth exhibition at the gallery, presenting a series of paintings and sculptures.

Guillermo Kuitca

Hauser + Wirth, 27 May – 30 July

Crossing Berkeley Square and wandering across town towards Soho puts you in the path of Hauser & Wirth on Savile Row. One of Europe’s leading international galleries, for the summer it has joined with its Milan and New York venue to host a three-part Felix Gonzalez-Torres exhibition.

Francis Alÿs: Ciudad Juárez projects

David Zwirner, 11 June – 5 August

Heading southeast will leads you to the cluster of galleries on Piccadilly’s north side, including David Zwirner, currently hosting a solo exhibition from Frances Alÿs. The show brings together works created in and around the Mexican border city of Juárez between 2010-2015; a turbulent period in which the city was named ‘murder capital of the world’ before successfully halving crime rates in just two years.

A Summer Exhibition

Marlborough Fine Art, 20 July – 27 August

Cut through Stafford Street and you’ll emerge on Old Bond Street, another historic row littered with galleries. The Marlborough Fine Art and Contemporary galleries sit side by side - in the former’s A Summer Exhibition, look out for new works by Bill Jacklin RA.

Cool Britannia

Sims Reed, 1 July - 26 August

Heading due south across Piccadilly, you’ll once again be surrounded by exquisitely curated small galleries. Take time to look around Sims Reed - the renowned print gallery’s summer showing, Cool Brittania, celebrates the very best of British printmaking, featuring works from Allen Jones RA, Peter Doig and Howard Hodgkin.

The world is yours, as well as ours

White Cube, 15 July – 17 September

Sequestered in Mason’s Yard, this cutting-edge gallery made its reputation in the 1990s, when it hosted the first solo shows of Young British Artists such as Tracey Emin RA. This summer, the gallery explores the history of the abstract in Chinese art, with a group exhibition drawing together paintings from nine very different Chinese artists.
