Can a art gallery or art shop pay to appear higher on this list?

No. Nobody can pay for a place on Independents Only. The list puts businesses in the town first, then owner-confirmed ones, then the nearest.

I run a art gallery or art shop in London. How do I get listed?

If you're independent, it's free, even if you only have a Facebook page or a phone number: find your business and claim it, or add it if it's missing. Claiming lets you add your own description and opening hours.

How this list was made

Every art gallery or art shop here is run by its owners, isn't one of the thousands of chain and franchise brands we check against, doesn't share a website, page or phone number with other branches, and was open when last checked. Spot a chain? Use “Report” on its page. More on our checks.

Find independent galleries and art shops in or near London. Only include businesses owned and run by the people who work in them: no chains, groups, franchises, directories, booking sites or lead-generation sites. Include ones with only a Facebook or Instagram page or a phone number, too. For each, give the name, area, website or social page or phone, and one line on why you believe it's independent. If you're not sure a business is independent, leave it out. You can cross-check against Independents Only's checked list: https://independentsonly.com/in/london-hertfordshire/art-shop
