Joshua MawApril 2, 2019One of the few galleries in London that charge for entry. The exhibition space is incredible, amazing brutalist/modernist architecture. Worth a visit.
BrowhausApril 26, 2012A clean and well-organized gallery, known for its brilliant exhibits. We suggest visiting David Shrigley’s “Brain Activity”-- a funny and interesting exhibit displaying everyday life in a comical way.- Vic McGinAugust 3, 2015Carsten Höller: Decision was just fantastic. Attacks the senses in the most interesting ways. Even the gift shop is good!

David John SimpsonOctober 20, 2018The Hayward Gallery often has installations that have limited entry (ie one at a time). Go at opening (11am) and go straight to the limited piece to beat the queue! Piece of cake. 🍰- Mark VordFebruary 20, 2012Still the best gallery in London for contemporary art. Though it lacks a permanent exhibition (you can get that from the Tate Modern) it always deliveries on great exhibitions from modern artists.

Otel.comOctober 11, 2011This art gallery located at Belvedere Road features lots of great exhibits by of contemporary art (about 4 per year), big and small. The Hayward Gallery Project Space is free of charge.- Alex CMarch 24, 2012Great David Shrigley show. Such a fantastic space for a playful, humorous artist. Jeremy Deller not as grabbing but good to see bikes in the exhibition.
Chocolate DandyApril 27, 2013They seem to hold back 100 tickets every morning for ' light show' . Get there early and queue. Worth the wait.
Bharat DhillonSeptember 4, 2015Great place to check out contemporary art and grab a beer at the excellent bar after.
Morgans Hotel Group ManagerMarch 30, 2012As the capital's largest concentration of exposed concrete, the Southbank Centre sits in amusing counterpoint to its ideal for beauty. Take refuge in the Hayward Gallery which shows major exhibitions Read more
Michael RizzatoMarch 25, 2014Awesome experience. And the exhibition's name couldn't be righter than that! #WhatsThePointOfIt

Don't miss the Waterloo Sunset Pavilion, created by Dan Graham as a 'drop in centre for children and old people and a space for viewing cartoons'. A lovely space in which to hang out and it even manag Read more
DAZED AND CONFUSEDNovember 29, 2010Not only is the Hayward a great all round gallery- get down and get interactive with their latest display 'Move- Choreograph You' we're here having lots and lots of fun!
HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011Today one of London’s most important contemporary art galleries, the Hayward is named after Sir Isaac Hayward, Labour leader of the London County Council from 1947 until its abolition in 1965.
Charlotte AnnAugust 25, 2015So much fun! The upside down goggles and slide at the end made the exhibition.

Slide down Carsten Höller's spiral slides from 10 June to 6 Sept 2015!
Thierry LevenqFebruary 17, 2018One wonder why they have been closing this place for 2 years. It looks like nothing has changed !
Jeremy Le VanSeptember 26, 2011Engaging and usually playful exhibitions. Part of the Southbank Centre.
Sean TMay 9, 2014Flat white was blatantly just milky coffee and the hot chocolate was a mockery. Very poor.

The Hayward Gallery was opened by Her Majesty The Queen in 1968. It is an outstanding example of sixties brutalist architecture and is one of the few remaining buildings of this style.
