Extremely difficult to find. If you're coming from marble arch station, it's best to take a diagonal route to the far north west corner of the serpentine lake. It's at that point you will start to see some directional totems. Look for the last coffee, ice cream kiosk before a curved road where you should see a large map on your right. It's about 250 yds beyond that across a fairly busy inner park rd so watch out for anything bigger or smaller than a car. The gallery has very little real security checks..despite having booked for a David Hockney exhibition that l thought might not be so full on a Saturday in the extreme heat..l therefore found it quite packed and you had to weave your way around various groups to get to view the digital prints uninhibited by the proximity of others. It was a surprisingly uplifting visit. I found the portraits of the artists agents and close friends the most interesting using Google to do background research as the signs next to the frames were far too small to read properly. There's discreet and there's ridiculously inaccessible to older people or anyone with eyesight issues. I will return with a magnifying glass next time. If you plan to visit the cafe next door make sure to book and it isn't cheap. We walked back to the friendly affordable ice cream kiosk for a cone, tea and coffee which we enjoyed seated on a small hillock under the trees.

David Hockney exhibition. I saw nothing of artistic value on display. I found the panoramic wrap around idea interesting but of no consequence. Mediocre at best. The interior architecture is more fascinating than the "art" on display. In my opinion. And the mirrors can cause some drama when you find yourself suddenly gazing upon your person unexpectedly.

Currently there is an amazing Hockney exhibition that he created in inspiration of the Bayeux Tapestry. Lovely place to visit to see this uplifting artwork by Hockney completed not long before he passed away. A very lovely tribute to him.

We visited David Hockney: A Year in Normandy and Some Other Thoughts About Painting at the Serpentine North Gallery on a Sunday and went straight in without having to queue. It’s a really beautiful exhibition, particularly the large projected images surrounding the walls showing a year in Normandy. The changing landscapes through the seasons — from spring right through to winter — were wonderfully done and created a very immersive atmosphere. It was fascinating to see how the colours, light and scenery evolved throughout the year. The staff were polite and welcoming throughout, and the gallery itself felt calm and easy to explore. Definitely worth a visit

It is an intimate gallery housed in a beautifully restored 1805 Gunpowder Warehouse. The current exhibition is by David Hockney and it showcases his iPad panoramic friezes of the four seasons in Normandie. Entry is free but it is strongly recommended to book a pre-timed entry unless you are willing to take your chances at the door. The queue could be quite long during the weekends. The Magazine Cafe is located next to the Gallery for a quick bite. Definitely recommended. David Hockney is one of our favourite artists.
