Really enjoyed this modern art gallery. The grounds are also lovely however it was quite cold there at the end of May so we didn't get to hang out for long appreciating the exterior. There was a Hermes exhibition of their craftsmen and women on. Quite interesting to see the high quality craftsmanship on show, which made me appreciate why... More

I expected to see high standard exhibition and my expectations were certainly exceeded with the current (June 2013) art works. The building is just perfect for great setups. The exhibition is not massive and you have energy and time to view everything. What's even greater, this is free of charge. There is nice small "market place" outside where you can... More

The Saatchi is a very well designed exhibition space in a beautiful setting off the King's Road. As it is free to enter, it is one of those places best for dipping in and out if you happen to be in the area. Whether it is worth travelling to see very much depends on the exhibits on display at the... More

We've been visiting London for years, always visiting art history's greatest hits, before we thought of coming to this serene gallery just around the corner from hectic Sloane Square. No need to fight crowds that weekday afternoon--we could get a lingering look at each of the cutting-edge Russian works on display. This exhibition is most definitely not for the squeamish:... More

The whole experience at this gallery is overwhelming: the garden, the architecture of the building and even the location, next to King's Road. The large lighted spaces of the exhibitions are providing an easy to walk and orient through. The contemporary art presented is mostly of young artist but all with very strong presence and essence. It felt like being... More

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the gallery. I loved how open and lightful the spaces are, and easy to get around with lift and stairs in centre of building. Artworks nicely arranged in large rooms. Such a pleasure to visit. On Saturdays there is a food market just outside in the precinct. A great afternoon!

Visiting an hour before lunch, midweek, I had most galleries to myself. I really enjoyed the Greta Alfaro's media piece, where giant birds descend on a well set table to gorge themselves. The photos of people perched dangerously in window sills, were engaging and voyeuristic. An all around great exhibition and gallery.

Great exhibition of Russian art / photography. Very moving and almost biblical in style. The five day Hermes atelier exhibition was amazing. Always loved Hermes, so to meet the crafts men and women was a real treat. All for free. Well done Saatchi xx

We went to this gallery after hearing great things but when we turned up it was absolutely rammed full of people, you could barely move it was so full, let alone actually see anything! There should be a limit on the amount of people let in or something as I actually couldn't believe how full it was, the stairs were... More

As part of an awesome day out with my friend, we went to go checkout the Saatchi Gallery in King's Road. I love galleries and have heard about the cutting edge and modern word they exhibit here so was very thrilled to finally check it out. I must say there were some of the exhibits that I found quite disturbing,... More
