Serpentine South

Serpentine displays contemporary art across two sites in Kensington Gardens: Serpentine North and Serpentine South. Each site hosts about three exhibitions per year, showing art, design, architecture, performance, and community projects.

Before opening as an art gallery in 1970, the Serpentine South building was a tea-room. The Gallery programme presents a diverse programme of exhibitions featuring both emerging and established artists, alongside large-scale installations.

Serpentine South is also the site of the Serpentine Pavilion, an annual architectural commission showcasing new temporary buildings by international architects during summer.
