WHY WE LIKE IT
The huge exhibition space (covering 70,000 square feet), with art from prominent (as in: oooh! I know that one!) artists featured. The outdoor café near the main entrance is lovely in the spring and summer months.
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Nothing
GOOD TO KNOW
Opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 to show his own collection, the gallery reopened in its current location in late 2008. It has been known to launch artists into the big-time.
