The Victoria Miro galleries could well be our favourite spaces in London. The exhibitions are bomb-proof - steering clear of the PR fluff and dollar signs that can infect the contemporary art scene, they stage serious, substantial shows - more often than not with Turner Prize pedigree. Their artist roster reads like a who's-who: Grayson Perry, Francesca Woodman, Yayoi Kusama, Alice Neel, Celia Paul, Chris Ofili, Idris Khan, Conrad Shawcross - the list goes on.

This winter, we're treated to House Work: a group exhibition at the gallery's Mayfair space. The show is made up of contemporary and historical paintings and looks at ideas of home from the perspective of artists working from the 1920s to the present. Childhood homes, holiday homes, haunted houses, dream homes: the art on show explores our relationship with the spaces we inhabit.

Look out for work from US-based Jules de Balincourt, whose painterly studies plumb the socio-political landscape of America. Celia Paul will contribute, following her 2016 Victoria Miro retrospective. There'll be work from Mamma Andersson, Marc Chagall, Peter Doig and Cy Twombly, too.

Don't miss this delight of a show - it's what the London art scene is all about.
