Serpentine Gallery Reviews

Always worth a visit to the unusual pavilions in the summer. They also host a number of world calls lectures through out the year that are definitely worth checking out

Always something to see. If you don't enjoy the exhibition Serpentine bookshop has the BEST collection of art books in London.

Nice gallery with interesting info about the exhibition

I liked it had fantastic day out there. Recommend it at the same time that I acknowledge that there is an issue with the Serpentine leadership with regards to the opiod crisis that I cannot ignore.

Located inside Kesington Gardens Park, this art gallery was opened in 1970.

I went to this amazing outdoor installation recently - and they had a cafe within it. Completely charming and hidden away in the depths of Hyde Park. Not far is the Diana memorial which is lovely.

Go here during the week on a sunny day and you're set!

Lots of books .. good exhibition about the current installation on the serpentine

A nice little gallery with interesting exhibits. Beautiful surroundings.

One of my favourite galleries for contemporary art. If you are in Hyde park, then you must visit here.

Fantastic experience, great conditions, professional exhibition, and so amusing.. and most of all super architecture extension building as a restaurant of Zaha Hadid who let us feel great under the organic architecture

Each building housed the work of a different artist. Unfortunately didn t enjoy either of the current exhibitions.

Additionally, there were no absolutely places to sit in the one building. In a large room containing a longer video, there was enough space for only two people to sit comfortably on the provided seating and the staff asked you not to sit on the brick ledge around the room.

Don t recommend the current installations and advise more seating be added in general.

Excellent gallery exhibition space that hosts good art exhibitions. It has a bookshop that is very good and a very broad selection of international magazines mainly related to art design, architecture, fashion and current affairs. During the summer months they have the Serpentine Pavilion that is an architectural project with a small cafe made by an emerging architect.

When I went here, the exhibition wasn't particularly interesting in my opinion, but I think it was a one time off. I would definitely give it another try some other time. Plus it's located in Hyde Park so you can pop in when you're around.

Live fly gallery not my thing. Fairly small but set in the fabulous Hyde park.

When I went there, I was exhibiting Grayson Perry's works in August, and there was a donated pig in the door, 2017 works. The bottles inside are considered to be medium to large, and several of the bottle noodles are almost real-life aspects of London society. The red blanket hanging on the wall is also modernized with the British geographical environment.

Visited the serpentine pavilion 2018 and was a really cool experience! The serpentine gallery itself is a nice gallery too

The exhibition is very inspiring, but the restaurant is closed for refurbishment :)

Visiting the gallery for the first time post lockdown, and I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional level of customer service by all members of staff.

I do recommend booking in advance however they can be accommodating if the gallery is not too busy. They have managed a one way system and maintain social distancing too.

The book shop only allows two people so expect a short wait or a longer queue on busier days. It is worth it!

They occasionally have outdoor art exhibits which are really, really amazing and beautiful. Definitely worth a visit to see what it's likes here! They also have a very nice cafe and indoor art exhibit, which are lovely too. It's a nice place to stop and hang out as you're wandering through the entire park.

Very original exhibition venue, that changes from year to year. Located in Kensington Garden's you can go walking from Hyde Park and have a picnic afterwards.

So normal

The building is only luxurious

Good gallery with several large rooms and a very good book shop (go there for the shop if nothing else). Sat in the centre of the park with a second Serpentine gallery space a few minutes walk away.

anually traveling exhibitions and changing shows. located inside the hyde park with nice green atmosphere. do not hesitate to visit

Went to see Grayson Perry work and reflect on his view of modern Britain. Small but good environment.

Great exhibition by Faith Ringgold. A must-see for people who like African-American artists.

No coat room or left luggage if you're with someone you can take turns sitting on stone benches covered with bird poo outside which is which is what I'm doing now.

Always a rewarding visit whoever the artist. The Pavilion is amazing this year. Very cool.

I don't always like what they display but its always interesting and gets you thinking. It's a gem in a beautiful location. Go to both and enjoy a a coffee at Zaha Hadid's coffee shop

Always worth a visit. Normally free entrance. Great little card and book shop on site

Before hosting art exhibitions, the Serpentine Gallery was a tea pavilion built in 1933, and in July 2018, I discovered for free the exposition Barrels and The Mastaba 1958-2018 which was not so bad.

A wonderful gallery that has its own exhibition of contemporary art. It is in Hyde Park and it is also attractive to stop by casually.
In the summer, a pavilion made by a notable architect is built in the garden and is worth seeing every year. 2019 was a pavilion by Japanese architects. Viewing is free, but if you can donate, donate.

You can view the exhibition of contemporary art for free. The highlight is the pavilion that can be built nearby in summer.

The summer pavilions are the best of the serpentine. Well done

While it is a smaller gallery, the artist had beautiful work.

Gallery is quite small. Current exhibition (Jan 12th) was unique but average.

A small free art gallery always worth a visit if you are passing, with temporary exhibitions. Worth giving a donation!

Interesting modern art and architecture. A lot of exhibitions and projects through the year. Free entry.

An amazing place, with this temporary marquee signed this year by a Japanese architect. See also the exhibition, in the main building. I have probably not appreciated the artist at its fair value, but it is interesting anyway.

Small gallery, original exhibitions in a small space

Such an amazing space. Especially when the new pavillons go up !

Great venue in a great park that tends to have excellent shows. They probably should cancel the Sackler branch as the road to culture is paved with an opioid crisis.

I must visit this gallery again. Not too big. nicely laid out. good exhibitions.

Lovely little gallery in a beautiful setting , usually has very interesting art on display, last time I saw work by Faith Ringgold a wonderful American artist

A beautiful situation, stimulating international programming, a special place. Sad that Cao Fei's show could not receive many visitors because of covid.

Very disappointed with the management team here. Real time wasters.

Nice setting, but limited gallery space. Summer pavilion is always worth a visit.

rather good fit for the Grayson Perry 2017 exhibition - accessible and worldly

For those interested in contemporary art it is a gallery not to be missed, as well as the one in front, on the other side of the lake, which has the beautiful restaurant designed by Zaha Haddid.Every two years, in summer, outside the serpentine galery, a structure designed by artists and architects is set up

relatively small gallery, modern art - no need to come here. If you come by anyway, have a look. Free.

Beautiful and close to the park but the museum is simple I would recommend the garden which is close to it especially the Japanese section of the garden

Incredible. I really recommend the Faith Ringold exhibition

Probably one of the most interesting exhibition spaces in London in terms of contemporary art. The main Serpentine Gallery puts on interesting shows, but I tend to find the slightly more 'niche' ones at the Serpentine's Sackler Gallery more interesting and intellectually stimulating.

In summer, the Serpentine Pavilion is always worth visiting.

Free to enter. Always something of interest. Location alone makes it worth a visit

I love how the pavilions inspire new arcitects and architecture lovers every year. Not so much I like Saatchi Gallery, the simplicity of form is not my piece of cake.

Not to be missed for those who are in London, excellent artistic interventions by great creators who can watch free in a park already very beautiful

Wonderful museum! The building, the environment, the collection and the shop!

Nice clean building, staff were friendly and helpful.

I was there for the exhibition of tar beach, admission is free and the site is conveniently located in the middle of hyde park, accessible from many places

Nice art Gallery with a great selection of international artists. Also visit their bookshops.

Highlighted some really great, lesser known artists. The exhibitions were well curated and had good information on the artist and the works

Free gallery to enter, perfect size as it's not too big that you have to spend hours there, brilliant art and very friendly staff! Loved it!!

An annual trip to the serpentine pavilion is a must see ... great space

Very cool art gallery with modern art exhibits that are culturally current. Beautiful walk to the venue.

In summer it is a must visit this corner of London. There is always something interesting. They commission the construction of an ephemeral pavilion to great names in world architecture. Always modern and surprising More
