Photo of the Friez Art Fair in London by Linda Nylind<\/div>\n<\/div>With so many museums and galleries, it\u2019s always a good time for art in London<\/a><\/strong>\u2014but there\u2019s no better time than fall for art fairs<\/strong>. A conveniently located New York Habitat vacation rental in London<\/a> is the perfect place for you to stay while you do your part to support the arts.<\/p>\n

The Frieze Art Fair in Regent\u2019s Park<\/a> is London\u2019s biggest and sets the standard for all other art fairs in town. <\/strong>Running from October 15-18, Frieze will feature\u2014along with local and international gallery stalls\u2014a crash-landing sculpture, an in-house artist photographing visitors, and another artist making \u201cknock-offs\u201d of well-known works. Look for the huge tents in Regent\u2019s Park for all the artistic action\u2014but be warned that there is an admission fee.<\/p>\n

Zoo is an art fair showcasing twenty-one different galleries and a dozen limited-edition print stalls,<\/strong> selling work that starts at a wallet-friendly \u00a310. If you\u2019re more interested in looking than buying, check out the central exhibit on psychedelia. Taking place from October 16-19 on Old Street, in the happening Shoreditch section of London, Zoo also has a champagne bar on hand.<\/p>\n

Pavilion is an up-market art fair that focuses on interiors and design.<\/strong> Though there is an admission fee, the works on show span over 150 years of artistic design, so it\u2019s well worth the price. Pavilion takes place from October 14-18 at Berkeley Square in Mayfair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Barbican\n\t
Barbican Arts Centre<\/div>\n<\/div>Finally, the Free Art Fair<\/strong> (from October 12-18 at the Barbican Centre) is just what it sounds like: All of the various art works on display are given away for free on the final day of the show. You must bring an entry form with you to take part in the lottery; if they call your name, you get to pick the piece you want. (See www.freeartfair.com<\/a> for details.) This show is both a labor of love from the artists and a favorite of those who appreciate the idea of making art accessible to all. However, this year is rumored to be the last, so catch it while you can. The centre is located in the famous City, a neighborhood offering plenty of convenient and cozy accommodations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For some affordable, well-designed places to stay amidst all the art fair frenzy, consider the following New York Habitat flats in London<\/a>:<\/p>\n
