About Serpentine Gallery
Four distinct spaces make up the Serpentine Galleries, each bringing its own character to parties and celebrations in Kensington Gardens. We've hosted everything from intimate cocktail parties in our Grade II-listed Serpentine South—originally a Victorian tea pavilion—to grand fashion shows that flow through our converted 1805 gunpowder store at Serpentine North. The real showstopper for summer parties is our annual Serpentine Pavilion, available from June through October. This temporary architectural commission creates an entirely new party environment each year, designed by world-renowned architects. Picture your guests mingling in an open garden space where contemporary art meets outdoor celebration—it's particularly magical for evening receptions when the structure is illuminated against the park backdrop. Inside, The Magazine extension by Zaha Hadid offers a striking modern contrast to our historic buildings. We've seen clients use this space brilliantly for product launches where the architecture itself becomes part of the event narrative. The flowing curves and contemporary materials create natural conversation points throughout the evening. Our galleries accommodate various party formats—from standing receptions for corporate networking to seated dinners where guests dine surrounded by our current exhibitions. The art provides natural talking points, eliminating those awkward silence moments at any gathering. We maintain step-free access throughout, baby-changing facilities for family celebrations, and complimentary Wi-Fi so your photographer can share images instantly. Getting here is straightforward with South Kensington and Lancaster Gate stations nearby, both offering multiple transport connections. When you book a party with us, you're not just hiring a venue—you're supporting our mission to keep contemporary art accessible to everyone who visits Kensington Gardens. Our team coordinates closely with caterers familiar with our spaces, ensuring your celebration flows smoothly between our indoor galleries and outdoor terraces.
