Serpentine Gallery Reviews

Fabulous selection of artists are chosen to have exhibitions here.

Loses a star because it's always closed (beware Monday's) for installation.

The artistic offer is great for a free gallery, very impressive!

Gallery space! Well worth a look, saw Grayson Perry exhibition here.

Cute little gallery. Find some interesting postcard here. Small selection of art, architecture and design book. There are little cafe outside

The serpentine is great. Always an interesting exhibition or installation on and it is free. You cant go wrong visiting if you're in the park.

Excellent gallery, an interesting space, with well curated contemporary shows. Not huge, you'll struggle to stay longer than half an hour, but include a visit to Sacker Gallery down the road and in the summer a drink in the pavillion and it makes an enjoyable afternoon.

Its location is ideal if you happen to be in Hyde Park and need to escape the heat. Unfortunately, I've never been a fan of their exhibitions, saw the weirdest one involving Ronald McDonald...

Gallery of Modern Art and Architecture located in the park, interesting events and exhibitions, outdoor installations (spring, summer). Bookstore with a wide range of books, attractive prices. I would recommend!

One my favourite galleries, they host an array of interesting artist and the pavilion is a must see!

The outdoor exhibits are always amazing and always worth seeing. Sometimes the inside gallery with also be just as amazing

Beautifully situated in the park, this small and warm set of rooms shows the work and steps out of the way. And the large meandering bookstore doesn't sell much in the way of housewares or knickknacks; it sells big beautiful books and magazines about art, as if it were a reference bookstore for the art world.

Beautiful architecture but staff need more training in customer services.

Went to exhibition of Faith Ringgold at Serpentine Galleries, yesterday which opened 1st September until 8th September. Had so much in it to see from an African-American perspective and was all explained in little cards, alongside the picture.

New pavilion outside the galklery every year.
Some great experimental architecture peaces.

Fascinating exhibition by African American artist. Well worth seeing.

It is a small place but always with new events to take photos.
A little bad x if you travel and want to have a memory

Very interesting exhibition and I liked the architectural claustra

Very beautiful the gallery, this park is huge and everything is very beautiful

Free entrance. Perfect location. Get to see amazing Art in the park. Just a gem of a place

Great choice of artist! Even if you've visited it, you should check it out again for another display.

This pair of small galleries in beautiful Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens tend to focus on modern art, but free entry means its always worth taking a look around. One gallery has a fine cafe, the other a superb bookshop, both very good to visit too.

I will recommend it to anyone. Lots of fun for the whole family.

Personally, I did not like, very bad communication on the exhibition, and a really disappointing visual

a pleasant place, if you have time, stop by. shop is also not bad.
outdoor installations are also worth seeing.

Even my Dad, who is notably not an art-lover was intrigued by the exhibition

I came here to see a specific exhibition. The gallery is OK, I find it a bit bland to be honest, like a parted room with no much grace...

The quilt exhibition was really interesting and stories of slaves breaking g free and helping others to do the same.you can sense their anger and frustration from the quotes

Amazing exhibition. At the age of 88 Faith Ringold get some well deserved appreciation. An historical legend.

Spontaneous visit of a painting exhibition. Very interesting designed, well-documented images, lots of information about the artist.

To see ... definitely!
not one of the usual galleries ...

Whenever I go to London, I try to go often the 2 Serpentines Gallery are obligatory visits. In addition to being within Hyde Park, which makes the location special

Very nice place, during summer the pavillion is always interesting to see!

Amazing displays of art, curated and changed periodically to stimulate one sense of appreciation. Would seem like a different space everytime you go there.

love this gallery and their famous summer pavilion.

It was closed due to rehab, but a very beautiful building

Went to see the 2019 Serpentine Pavilion by a Japanese architect. Depending on where you stand, it gives a different view. You have to see it to get what I mean :-D

Bijou Gallery, often have stimulating shows, well situated in the park.

It's a sure bet. Always worth visiting!

It is always worth a visit

Small but cozy gallery in the park . What can be better ?

Well curated exhibitions and interesting gallery space.

Visit every summer when the inspiring architectural masterpiece come up. Very special and memorable experience.

The Serpentine Gallery has an international reputation for excellence since opening back in the early 1970's,
Many artists, architects and designers have worked there during this time and made a name for themselves.
The Gallery is a Grade II listed former tea pavilion had a major renovation in 1998, originally under the Patronage of Diana Princess of Wales.
I cannot think of a nicer way to spend the day walking along the Serpentine then popping by the Long Water looking at the magnificent sculpture by Henry Moore "The Arch" then stopping by this gallery for some more culture and art.
Go see it you will enjoy it.

It presents temporary exhibitions of very varied artists, so it depends on the theme.

Small collection, but very well chosen. The location of the Gallery is also very beautiful

I think most of the visitors here are for Zaha architecture. Only the restaurant part has Zaha architecture, so check the opening hours. When I went, the restaurant was closed so I could only see the exterior ...

I went to it with school and the pavilion this year was very boring also I hate art but it might have been good for someone who likes art.

Disgraceful they have an entire gallery entitled to alleged murderers, and they even called them philanthropist!

When I visited there was a Yoko Ono exhibit (which I particularly love), featuring videos and works by avant-garde widow John Lennon. The gallery is inside Hyde Park so, at least in summer, it's delightful to walk through the lavender gardens until you reach the gallery. But do not risk the time because it closes early.

I have seen works by world class artists at this gallery for free. What's not to like? I usually make a day of it. Visit the serpentine gallery and the powder store then have a picnic if weather permits.

I came across this gallery while walking through Kensington garden. There was an interesting exhibition so I spend around an hour in there. The staff were helpful and informative. Also it was a hot day I spent walking outdoors so the AC in the gallery was refreshing.

Moved Christo's Mustaba, and the accompanying exhibition.

Quiet, small gallery in superb location, presently curating selected works of Swiss 'surrealist' artist, Albert Oehlen. Very helpful staff although not really knowledgable about the work. Would have scored 5* if provided simple listing of exhibits in gallery order with brief background/explanation of each.

Small free gallery with changing modern art exhibitions. Must-do when in that area of the park.

Thanks a lot for all of the Christo exhibit. I wonder why there were not more commercial trinkets available as there was at The Gates in New York City. There was almost nothing at The Piers in Italy either, but the Brescia museum exhibit covered a lot of Christo and his wife's work, and I spent a good while examining it. I do not know if there were any trinkets for the Running Fence in Sonoma County 40 years ago; it was pretty spread out (over 30 miles or so?) without a central observation place. I am glad I have seen four of Christo's productions and loved them all. I planned my trip to London this June around seeing The Mastaba.

Saw this weird exhibit with flies all around. It was gross but thought prevoking

Amazing art gallery that promises quality art and guests

I love exhibitions at Serpentine Gallery. This time by Faith Ringgold.
