One of the few galleries in London that charge for entry. The exhibition space is incredible, amazing brutalist/modernist architecture . Worth a visit.
A clean and well-organized gallery , known for its brilliant exhibits . We suggest visiting David Shrigley’s “Brain Activity”-- a funny and interesting exhibit displaying everyday life in a comical way.
Carsten Höller : Decision was just fantastic. Attacks the senses in the most interesting ways. Even the gift shop is good!
One of the best galleries for contemporary art in London
Still the best gallery in London for contemporary art . Though it lacks a permanent exhibition (you can get that from the Tate Modern) it always deliveries on great exhibitions from modern artists .
The Hayward Gallery often has installations that have limited entry (ie one at a time). Go at opening (11am) and go straight to the limited piece to beat the queue! Piece of cake . ????
This art gallery located at Belvedere Road features lots of great exhibits by of contemporary art (about 4 per year), big and small. The Hayward Gallery Project Space is free of charge.

A recently (2018) refurbished gallery inside the brutalist southbank centre.
Great David Shrigley show. Such a fantastic space for a playful, humorous artist . Jeremy Deller not as grabbing but good to see bikes in the exhibition .
Great space - saw the Gurksy exhibition . Nice cafe up the top and offered coat check .

Today one of London’s most important contemporary art galleries , the Hayward is named after Sir Isaac Hayward, Labour leader of the London County Council from 1947 until its abolition in 1965.
Great place to check out contemporary art and grab a beer at the excellent bar after.
They seem to hold back 100 tickets every morning for ' light show' . Get there early and queue. Worth the wait.
Light Show brings together sculptures and artworks that use light in different ways, showcasing artworks created since the 1960s.
The exhibitions , the spaces, the concrete ????
