- Thursday night is Late Shift. Music, a bar and a great atmosphere
Puppala DupiDecember 18, 2015Maybe not as essential as the national gallery but worthwhile nonetheless
INovember 23, 2014I can never get enough of this gallery! So bummed I missed the Virginia Woolf exhibition :(
Mar RodriguezAugust 2, 2010Must see the Tudors Portrait Gallery. Fantastic views from the restaurant over many of London's most emblematic buildings. Lunch a bit expensive for what you get, service not so good.
Kate StevensMarch 24, 2010As you leave each room, look at the painting/sculpture by the door. almost all of them stare at you condescendingly proclaiming "leaving are you? well...fine". very amusing

"They've got two lovely galleries - original and Sackler - in the heart of Hyde Park. It's enjoyable to come to see Serpentine Pavilion every year when the weather is good."

"Always worth stopping by. The in-house Café is one of the calmest places around Oxford Street. Some exhibitions are free of charge and the shop has a large collection of photo books and retro cameras."
