Two of the UK’s biggest cultural events come to London in October. Taking place over six days in Berkeley Square, PAD (Pavilion of Art and Design) plays host to more than 60 artists, galleries and designers.

We’ve chosen our top picks from these two events.

Here are some of the other industry events we’re looking forward to in London over the next few months.
