Very interesting place for the audience of the modern art. The gallery is your top choice if you wish to visit something different than cafes and restaurants. I like the arrangement inside which is according time periods and type of art.

The Saatchi Gallery located just a five minute walk from Sloane Square Underground station is the home of art for the masses which is free to explore, no boundaries and no barriers.
There is nothing new under the sun. The old things keep on returning, again and again.
And so it is over at the Saatchi Gallery this week. Richard Wilson's newly re-installed, room-saturating installation, 20:50, was first exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in north London in 1987. This was Saatchi's first big public art space and it was wonderfully unusual for its time, like a strange, white-all-over aircraft hangar. Then the installation re-appeared when Saatchi made the unwise decision to occupy those grand(ish) rooms over at County Hall. It didn't look so good there because the small room it occupied, which peeled off from one of those drearily long, terminally bureaucratic corridors, felt too small, too pent and a bit too dingy. The space lacked light, size, panache - and that's what 20:50 needs. Now it's back in a space which resembles the one it occupied in north London. Is it worth seeing again, though? YES IT IS.
Take your camera!

If you're a fan of modern art, this is a must-see. I believe the gallery comprises of stuff within Charles Saatchi's private collection. Some of it can be quite hard to grasp (but such is the way with modern art), but I'm a big fan of weird art that makes you think.
I think most of the exhibition changes every 6 months or so - last time I was there they were showing a collection by British artists, although I'm not sure if that's still showing.
They have a permanent exhibition space on the ground floor that is filled with petrol with you can walk into via an extendable platform, creating an eerie space that reflects everything above it. It's kind of difficult to work out what you're looking at - whether it's petrol or a mirror, or whether there's really even a reflection there. It's all quite weird.
Go there, if you can appreciate the weird and wonderful.
