Once you’ve ticked off the big names at the likes of Tate Modern, Tate Britain and the National Gallery and are ready to discover artists on the up-and-up, Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea is where you’ll want to go. This Gallery – and its founder, Charles Saatchi – has earned a strong reputation for introducing artists who later go on to gain global acclaim.
Housed in a former paint factory, its exhibitions cover a range of mediums and genres. On select days, the gallery stays open until 9am for Saatchi Lates, so you can pop by at night to view the exhibition as well as events such as artist talks, performances and DJ sets.
