Anyone who has been to Frieze in recent years, especially on the weekend can attest to the heaving crowds and cramped quarters. Our advice? Catch Frieze on a weekday evening, and check out these great shows in and around London in your leisure time.

One of the great contemporary artists, the artist behind London's Olympic "Orbit" centerpiece sculpture has a new show at Lisson Gallery starting October 10th and running for a month. This is the artists largest solo exhibition in London since the hugely popular show at the Royal Academy in 2009.
