    Visited to see the Paula Rego exhibition. Set over two floors and separate buildings, linked by a very picturesque patio area with large pond complete with ducks. Unusual space that has interest in its own right. Not all areas are open for disabled visitors, as far as I could see, so best Check before visiting. Didn't use restroom so can't comment on their suitability. There was a lift in the 2nd building that takes you to the top floor gallery. Strangely the invigilator, on the day we visited, directed us to the stairs which were very steep and long and may not be manageable by some. The exhibition was very interesting, though quite dark in content, which may go along with the artists life if I recall. There wasn't any write up in the public space about the artists works, that I could see, which would have added extra interest. Still a quirky gallery space in a central part of London close to lots of coffee shops, bars, restaurants etc.

    A nice small art gallery that has that open warehouse feel. I went to visit the Yayoi Kusama art installation. Don't let the front of the gallery fool you. At first I almost walked past it because it doesn't have much curb appeal but once you enter, that changes. The gallery is quite spacious for it's size. However did get a workout walking the stairs, as it is quite steep in places and made me feel a little claustrophobic. No worries though, there is a lift. The open air pond in the back looks like a tropical jungle. If you are looking for a gallery that is small and intimate, I would recommend this one. The art is normally contemporary and modern as opposed to classical.

    I enjoy the exhibitions here and the building is interesting. There’s always just a bit less art than I’m expecting though—it feels like they could push the space further.

    The place where you definitely want to come back !! Wonderful spaces, great exhibitions. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Don't forget to pre-book the VR tour, you will be more than impressed by the first steps in "Metaverse"..

    Excellent shows on at the moment by Yayoi Kusama and Chantel Joffe. Great friendly gallery spaces spread over two buildings, with pond at the rear to the galleries.

    Yayoi Kusama exposition for the Japanease contemporary artist. There was another exposition from Butcher. The staff was very friendly and polite. There is a public toilet and is weelchair friendly, as well. Is better to leave to bags at the reception point, especially if you are using a backpack. The staff will ask you (at eaxh point they see you) to hold the backpack with your hand not on your back.

    An excellent space to learn about the work of emerging and established artists. Worth the trip over but worth noting the upper gallery is not accessible to wheelchair users.

    Very cool space between Old St and Angel. Limited in terms of interior but they sure know how to select artists! The Grayson Perry exhibition was beautiful.

    A really nice gallery with great spaces and architecture. Have been here a couple of times to see exhibitions and enjoyed both occasions - though the first time there were 30 mins queues outside to get in. The rooms are scattered throughout the building across many floors and outside area which makes for nice transitions. The long stairwell is particularly interesting as it aligned in one long stretch. The newer spaces have plenty of light with the top room making use of skylights. The recent exhibition of Yayoi Kusama was very fun and amazing. Guests are allowed 1 minute private viewing inside the Infinite Mirror Room, which goes by too quickly!

    Beautiful space with high quality exhibitions

  • 5/5 Gina D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great space and great exhibition. From being buzzed into the quiet industrial building and directed up a multistory staircase for the first part, then back down to a sprawling main room, before viewing a part of the exhibition in the garden (with a scenic small mossy pond) and back up a dramatic staircase for the other exhibition. Great space. The Kusama and Joffe exhibits were marvelous!

    Easy to walk past but quite a good building....no toilets though... Grayson Perry's Tapestries are superb.

  • 4/5 Rhiannon S. 1 year ago on Google
    Free art exhibitions. Grayson Perry exhibition was small but impressive. Unfortunately the gallery did not have any seating and no public toilet access. Steep stairs to go up to second level.

  • 5/5 Dandan Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Very sad it’s not open to the public! I love here!

    Amazing gallery.

  • 5/5 Sheloa N. 11 months ago on Google
    By far one of the best galleries in London. I love how tucked away it is, the immense space inside, the beautiful garden. If you love art and especially if you’re only visiting London for a short time check it out. I’ve been to countless exhibitions here since I moved to London in 2016 and I’ve never been disappointed.
