Cork Street, located in Mayfair in the West End of London, is a significant area that played a crucial role in the reception of surrealism in the United Kingdom (U.K.). This paper reexamines the reception of surrealism in the U.K. during the 1930's by analysing historical records and materials covering the activities of three rival galleries in Cork Street: Mayor Gallery, London Gallery, and Guggenheim Jeune. These galleries made their presence felt at three seismic moments in the history of British surrealism, that is, 1933 (Mayor Gallery), 1936 (London Gallery) and 1938 (Guggenheim Jeune). The aim of this paper is to examine how the activities of these galleries affected surrealism's development in the U.K., and to clarify how the galleries were involved in the promotion of surrealism as an art movement. Although the centrifugal force of Cork Street as a locus for British surrealism diminished with the outbreak of World War II, by that time, the path of surrealism in Cork Street was well established with a complex and rich network.
