This is a place full of creativity and imagination. You feel the art there, The directors, the curators and the artists they all come together in one space to spend a great time in the park. So natural that place is a true beauty

The Serpentine Gallery host some of the most imaginative art exhibitions in London. At the moment its display concerns the 'Barrel' work of the artist Christo. In tandem with the exhibition the Serpentine lake contains a huge and beautiful floating 'barrel' installation. It's amazing. Every year the Serpentine also provides a home for a temporary Pavilion using cutting edge design and materials.

If you do go to the Serpentine do leave a donation to help keep this brilliant space open and free. Don't forget- Give something!

The Grayson Perry Exhibition is wonderful and well worth seeing. I was very impressed with the relaxed atmosphere at the Serpentine Galleries as the staff were happy to allow you to take as many photos as you wished - other galleries should follow this example!

Thank you firstly, to Grayson Perry, a chance to enjoy this inspiring, emotive, talent...for free! And thank you serpentine galleries for the opportunity

No queuing, on a Sunday

Thanks again for a wonderful chance to view his work ( it was on my bucket list)

Super, I come & see Serpentine every time I escape to London

I like visiting Seepentine Galleries for their contemporary arts exhibition which I find interesting giving insight to what is new in arts . The fact that it is also located in London evergreen beautiful semi wooded Hyde Park in the centre of London is an extra attraction. On a wonderful glorious day under the shaded trees you can cool down, have a break from the hassle and bustle of the hectic streets of London and relax and appreciate arts. The installTion e wry year is just amusing and awesome. I love Spending the day in Sepentine.

How lucky is London to have such a sublime gallery in one of London's finest open spaces; & on top of that it's free. Fanbloodyartytastic.

Hidden treasure

Great location, interesting show!

Grayson Perry always provoking, amusing and prepared to say it as it is....oh and Alan Measles will calm us all down...

Fabulous venue, great food and friendly staff. Highly recommend ’┐Į

A beautiful space with excellent service

We queued for a short time and staff were pleasant and effective. It was a hot day and the gallery was cool and relaxed; not too crowded.

The exhibition was witty and very engaging. I loved the layered quality of the ceramics and the fascinating expanse of the tapestries. All social comment as expected and directed at all.

Well worth a visit.

Visiting the Serpentine is a pleasant experience (and free!) even if the art exhibitions are sometimes a bit puzzling or underwhelming. Out of two exhibitions, there's usually at least one that has something good to offer though - as was the case with the current ones. Liked the artist / designer who makes furniture that looks like Dali meets IKEA and their fashion / consumer inspired installation with disco balls - not so keen on the other exhibition with a mish-mash of architectural, structural, decorative and small found objects though. The latter was also a challenge for the gallery staff to look after but they handled the variety of visitors well. I suspect some people who come in from the park may not normally go into art galleries so that is another good thing about these galleries.

This was a birthday surprise for me so I had no expectations at all. We arrived at a reasonable queuing time of about 20 minutes. Not bad for a Saturday lunchtime. Mixed views on the outdoor staff. One in particular found smiling a trial. If you don't really like the general public you are in the wrong job.

Once inside it's a relaxed and delightful experience. No pressure to move at any pace and as much time as you need to examine each artwork.

We liked it enough to buy 3 books afterwards but I must confess we got them cheaper online. Sorry Grayson but I'm sure you of all people understand the modern world.

By the way it was my last birthday before 70 so read these comments from that perspective.

The management of serpentine were very helpful and the concert was so cool and the sound was amazing

Lovely gallery space, and really enjoyed seeing Grayson Perry's work. We turned up at opening time and there was no queue at all. Only downside is that it's a small exhibition. We went round in about 30 minutes. You would struggle to spend more than an hour. So not really a "destination event". Just something nice to do if you happen to be in London anyway.

The United Kingdom is socially and racially fragmented and a gallery director wants to make a ŌĆ£Case for NonsenseŌĆØ. Promoting nonsense amid global chaos is a form of dictatorial censorship, an appeasement to political/economic and contextual subversion, a corruption "degenerate".

In 2014 Peter Bazalgette, Chair, Arts Council gave a keynote speech, highlighting racial inequality in the arts, ten years prior to this speech I was challenging the Arts Council England on the issue of race and social inequality, ten years prior to my challenging the ACE I had written about maintained racial separatism with reference to Rasheed Araeen former editor of Third Text who had covered the subject in the 1970s,



That equates to almost fifty years of maintained racial separatism by art institutions.



The cycle of racial inequality exists because institutions assume it's enough just to admit racism exists, an admission gives the impression that something is being done to resolve social and racial inequalities, Maintaining this cycle of acknowledgment and inaction relies on an undefined amount of time to pass so the issue no longer becomes an issue.

I love this space, it's just a shame the staff on the door felt the need to be rude, pedantic and pushy. They seemed much more concerned discussing which of the model/waiters/PR persons they fancied, who were setting up an event for Chanel, than speaking to any of the patrons with civility. I came to see the exhibition and really couldn't give a shit about the Chanel party, which is probably why I didn't appreciate being jostled and ordered about to accommodate and make way for a PR person searching for their 'Martini Trolley'? Ridiculous
