Whitechapel Gallery Reviews

lovely exhibitions but a little small, the main exhibition was too expensive to enter

Nice to pass the t8me. Some exciting art tours stop off here

The gallery didn't have great exhibitions when we were there and it wasn't clear what was open/closed paid/free. It was difficult to actually spot the building especially as it is so hectic outside and all of the buildings around it look quite tired. That being said it's easy enough to get to - just maybe check whats on before you visit.

Great exhibition spaces with excellent artist work. Very friendly staff...I would definitely go back there to see future exhibitions.

I stopped into the Whitechapel gallery whilst waiting for a friend. The space is very carefully curated & takes advantage of some unique angles. I really liked the use of negative space to compliment the artwork on display. The bookshop is great as well!

Bonus feature: Big fan of the staircase design, which let's in a lot of natural skylight.

Friendly staff. great coffee and cake. Interesting exhibition.

It was nice to see this gallery but in my opinion there was just a little too much contemporary art.

Easily the best restaurant in Whitechapel/Aldgate. It's cosy with only around 13 tables, so I'd recommend booking, but I did this easily on the day without a problem. The menu changes daily to reflect season produce, and all the dishes I tried were fresh and delicious. My only criticism is that the toilet bins were overflowing, but as they share these with the Whitechapel Gallery, I guess they can't take the blame. I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful building and exteriors. Filled with great art and maintained some interesting conceptual projects despite the lockdown.

I love this gallery but this exhibitions wasn't my favourite

Their exhibitions are super good to see as free! Free lockers and coats room :)

Very interesting and unique art pieces. Had a very nice time here

Beautiful place with lots of character and unique overall feel. I've been here so many times and whoever I take with me, they're always left impressed and stunned by the exhibitions. I'd recommend it highly.

Went to the Mark Dion exhibition. Was very good. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Cafe needs more vegan options. Book shop is excellent.

Very quaint but fulfilling experience. The gallery was very clean, temperatures were taken open entry and crowd control in all the rooms made me feel safe. The little cade and a apor to sit and read or reflect made it a very good experience

Free gallery that always has something interesting to see

Nice gallery, good position, just on the small side.

The free exhibitions are quiet small but always very interesting

Nice building. Free. Wasn't terribly impressed by the exhibitions.

Always interesting and often unusual modern art exhibitions, mostly painting and some installation

Great place to get away from the noisy area. A variety of art in various uncrowded rooms.

Fantastic independent gallery, it features exhibitions from international artists and has meeting facilities and a shop on site.

I really liked this place in my first visit. There are a lot of various exhibitions and events. You can join for free.

Very interesting and nice gallery in Whitechapel. No tourists in this area

A really nice space and the exhibition was really well presented

Awesome place to visit. Not your typical gallery. Like a breath of fresh air when it comes to new ideas from various artists that are featured.

We can experience the cutting edge arts orientation.

Well with a visit. Great Open Exhibition. Should be seen by anyone interested in what s happening now.
By the way great little cafe.
Staff very helpful

Love Art then you will love this gallery. Great Location and great services.

Interesting and wide ranging installations.easy to find and right by aldgate east tube.

Great restaurant and gallery 100% free and a bookstore with an incredible selection

Great exhibition of Thomas Ruff photos, well curated and enough space to do it justice, but not overwhelming. Friendly staff and interesting building. Good shop too.

Great little gallery with a nice coffee shop attached.
