Clarendon Fine Art to open Covent Garden site
Art gallery group Clarendon Fine Art has chosen Covent Garden’s Long Acre as the location for its latest store in London.
Due to open in September, the new site is situated just a short distance away from Clarendon Fine Art’s first-ever location in Mayfair. The company currently has over 20 sites across the UK.
The Long Acre space will span 3,500 square feet and, in line with the company’s mission, will aim to make art accessible to all, including first-time buyers and established collectors.
Helen Swaby, founder of Clarendon Fine Art, said: “We take great pride in selecting the perfect location for each new gallery we open, expanding our extensive London portfolio. We have always held Covent Garden in high regard and wanted to ensure we select the ideal prime unit to complement our current portfolio. With restrictions now lifted, and many returning to spend time in central London, we are confident this location on Long Acre will provide access to a high volume of footfall, and we are excited to open our doors and welcome art lovers to our new home.”
The news follows the recent launch of Charlie Smith London’s Art Gallery at 28 Shelton Street in Covent Garden and the opening of a site for Italian gelato brand Badiani at Mercer Walk.
Simon Taylor, property director at the Mercers’ Company, added: “Our Mercers’ estate has long been committed to supporting and showcasing a variety of arts and culture, from temporary and permanent gallery spaces to exclusive eye-catching murals and public art. Clarendon Fine Art offer inspiring modern and contemporary pieces at a time when Londoners are looking for inspiration to take home, and we are pleased to welcome this unique and dynamic gallery to Covent Garden.”
