Modern art galleries housed either side of the Serpentine bridge in the middle of Hyde Park/
Serpentine South is in a charming 1930s former tea room and is the slightly larger of the two,
with toilets and a shop. It still isn’t huge - just a couple of rooms really.
Serpentine North is housed in a former gunpowder magazine and the exhibition space is smaller. It does however have a swanky looking brunch restaurant stuck onto the side of it that was fully booked when I foolishly attempted to get a table on a Saturday.
Every summer the gallery puts on an artist built pavilion in front of Serpentine South, which
certainly stands out amidst the otherwise quite staid classical architecture of Hyde Park.
