The contemporary rooms on the south edge of Hyde Park. The summer pavilion is a bonus, not a duty. Next is Hyde Park — do not also stack Tate Modern the same day.
Analysis
Serpentine Galleries: two wings only. Last entry is about an hour before close (About 10:00–18:00 in exhibition season; otherwise it is just the park). Leave a large case if there is no cloakroom, leave via Lancaster Gate, and do not add another large museum the same day.
Best time
Afternoon
How to go
Lancaster Gate or South Kensington, then walk
Transit
Tap contactless or Oyster at Lancaster Gate. Last trains sit around midnight. After Serpentine Galleries closes, board there — do not cross districts for the last train.
Season window
Spring and autumn are easiest at Serpentine Galleries. Summer atriums and weekend crowds stack; in winter put the indoor rooms first, and do not count an outdoor court on a wet day.
Tips
- · Tickets: Free. Plan about 35 minutes.
- · South and the old magazine are two buildings
- · No flash and no tripods inside Serpentine Galleries. Drink water before security. Pushchairs follow that day's door notice.
