St. Staneva: Really really crazy place. But I like and recommend it!
Filippo Corti: If you loved the Tate Modern, you will love also this one. Is not so popular as the Tate is, yet is beautiful just as the Tate. Definitely, a worth visit.
Londonist: You definitely want to get hold of the info booklet, or you're just looking at artfully arranged junk. The Richard Wilson room at the back is spectacular...in a stationary, gloopy way.

Browhaus: This gallery is magnificent as well as sound. Come during later hours to enjoy the food, drink, and dance. We recommend the Bauhaus exhibit, which is one of the biggest in the UK in the past 40 years.

Alexia K: Impressive interiors with interesting exhibitions , worth visiting
Morgans Hotel Group: Newwest of the White Cube Galleries
Martial Bénard: The new and huge addition to the other two White Cubes of Mayfair and Shoreditch. Probably the most interesting, because of the space.
Melissa Tgs: By recommendation i started with Van Gogh, following the turns into more biblical, ornate and tactile pieces i.e. Carlo Crivelli << i like! The space is HUGE, so make u sit and rest between trips, :)
HISTORY UK: One of the gallery’s most famous pictures is the Chandos portrait, which is said to be of William Shakespeare by his friend Richard Burbage. But some dispute its provenance.
Kate Stevens: As you leave each room, look at the painting/sculpture by the door. almost all of them stare at you condescendingly proclaiming "leaving are you? well...fine". very amusing
