Serpentine Gallery, named after the nearby Serpentine Lake, was established in 1970 and housed in a classical 1934 tea pavilion.
It is one of London’s best-loved galleries for modern and contemporary art.
Its Exhibition, Architecture, Education and Public Programmes attract many visitors and admission is free.  In the grounds of the Gallery is a permanent work by artist and poet Ian Hamilton Finlay, dedicated to the Serpentine’s former Patron Diana, Princess of Wales. The work comprises eight benches, a tree-plaque, and a carved stone circle at the Gallery’s entrance.
