Visited on a busy Saturday to see the London art college graduates exhibition. Due to covid you had to pre book a time slot and there was a clear one way route throughout the whole building. For £3 per head great value. The exhibition itself was very interesting, as with all art there was stuff that one might consider dross but there were also a number of excellent pieces, in particular, "Blackness The Manifesto" by Michael Forbes. Well constructed, balanced and thought provoking, well wort investing 5 minutes of your time. Great building and space and look forward to future visits. Lucky enough to visit on a Saturday where there was a very active set of food stalls serving great snacks and plenty of drinks.…

This is a lovely, accessible and very reasonably priced gallery on the King's Road. Lovely setting and delightful gallery. s with all modern art you wonder how some IS art but it is controversial and thought provoking. I go every time when in London.

I’ve also liked the Saatchi Gallery (despite the amount of steps and sometimes miserable staff). It’s usually affordable, easy to get to, a nice location and they have some great exhibitions on.

Thanks to an initiative by the London gallerist Kristin Hjellegjerde the Saatchi Gallery is currently showcasing work by recent graduates of most of London’s leading fine art schools. Covid-19 has meant the temporary closure of many art schools and with it depriving their students of both exhibition space and the attendant publicity they need at such an early stage in their careers. Two out of the three main floors of the Saatchi Gallery provide near-perfect museum quality exhibition space for their works. And the shop albeit moved from the first to the ground floor and the cafe/restaurant now a branch of Searcy’s both remain open which is more than can be said for many more august public galleries. …

The refurbished 19th Century main building of the Duke of York's Heaquarters provides a great series of large spaces for the changing exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery. It is good to see it reopened after the lockdown, and with an exhibition supporting final year art students from London art schools. They've had a tough time over the last six months, so this is a great initiative, though inevitably it lacks the buzz and intimacy of the traditional Degree Shows. And the Saatchi has a great art shop, which is always worth visiting …
