Hayward Gallery Cafe

I went for the expo of Shiota and Xiuzhen and I loved it. Everything was so well organized. This expo is a must see.🤍

The Gilbert and George "21st century drawings" show is absolutely amazing, it's monumental in scale. The Hayward is the perfect location for these enormous pieces of art, every gallery is spacious and has lots of height. Highly recommended !

Totally loved it here. We went to the Gilbert & George expo. Glad we did, what a great space, staff were very friendly and we had a chat with them on the way out. Stunning work and well worth the visit, in London for the weekend and was lucky to catch this. Great venue, loved it.

I've been to the Hayward Gallery for many different exhibitions over the years and it never disappoints. Seeing how the art interacts with the Brutalist architecture is always a highlight. The staircases are a thing of marvel and when the curators use this as hanging space, it enhances the individuality and creativity of this exhibition space. The gallery is in a convenient and central location with a range of amenities surrounding it, making it a perfect destination. I visited the exhibition in the late afternoon, there was no queue for tickets and I breezed on in with the attendants being informative, welcoming and friendly. The average time you'll likely spend viewing exhibitions here is roughly an hour, depending on how thorough you want to be while absorbing the art work. There's a small but perfectly formed gift shop upon exit, selling everything from exhibition merchandise, art materials, to high and low brow art books. Afterwards, I enjoyed a a spritz and dinner, over looking the Thames on the Southbank. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon in London.

I love this gallery. Great space and has some good exhibitions. Most recently we went to the Nara exhibition and enjoyed greatly. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. In a good area, so can be easily combined with other sights.
