The art gallery is situated in Chelsea and it doesn't disappoint. The exhibitions are of young unknown contemporary artists with free admission. It's not to crowded and you can spend a lot of time looking in detail at the art.

The Saatchi Gallery is an exhibition space for contemporary art by unknown young artists or established international artists. Admission is free. The galleries themselves are quite fabulous in their... More

I cannot decide whether I should award 5 stars or 4 or 3 or 2. The dilemma arises because I am not sure whether reviews in this section should relate to the gallery as a whole or to the particular exhibition that is currently showing. So let me divide this review into those two parts. Firstly the gallery. This is... More

I strongly recommend to everybody to visit Saatchi Gallery. It is a "must see" of London! A beautifully arranged space has 4 floors and plenty of space for the most up-to-date contemporary art.

The exhibition is supported by a book called, Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union. (Surprisingly reduced to just £10!) If you enjoy photographs of the homeless, down and outs, social outcasts, etc. holding onto their genitals, showing their tattoos, this is the book to buy and the place to go. You can see a silver metal... More

I visited whilst on a break in London as I thought I should but was pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoyed this. The Russian exhibition that was on was fantastic but even the gallery itself is worth a visit. Bright and airy and with a lovely restaurant attached it is such a lovely experience. Everyone is very helpful... More

The gallery space is great - spacious, light and airy, but the current collections were just not for me. Didn't enjoy it.
