When I’m not peering into people’s insides, I’m usually peering at something hung on a white wall. These are the galleries I keep circling back to when I claw a day off the rota. Strong coffee nearby is a plus; somewhere to sit and quietly fall apart is non‑negotiable. Think of this as my informal ward round of London art spaces — fewer bodily fluids, similar levels of existential crisis.

Umetnost između smena — 7 items
Name	Neighbourhood	Focus	Address	City	My take
1Tate Modern	Bankside	International modern and contemporary art, big-ticket shows	Bankside, London SE1 9TG	London	The Turbine Hall is basically an MRI for your soul: vast, loud, occasionally baffling, and you come out different even if you can’t say how.
2Hayward Gallery	South Bank	Cutting-edge contemporary shows in brutalist concrete	Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX	London	If you enjoy feeling small and slightly unsettled, this bunker of concrete and cleverness does the job nicely. Think CT scanner, but for your capacity to cope with mirrors and voids.
3Saatchi Gallery	Chelsea	Large-scale contemporary art exhibitions, often thematic	Duke of York’s HQ, King’s Road, London SW3 4RY	London	Big bright spaces and very polished shows. Like a well-funded private hospital: pristine, efficient, occasionally makes you wonder who’s really paying.
4Serpentine South Gallery	Kensington Gardens	Contemporary art and the seasonal Serpentine Pavilion	Kensington Gardens, London W2 3XA	London	Art, trees and fresh air in one prescription. I go when the bleeping in my ears from monitors won’t stop; the park does a soft reboot on the brain.
5Barbican Art Gallery	Barbican	Major curated exhibitions in a brutalist complex	Barbican Centre, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS	London	You come for the show and stay because you got lost in the concrete and can’t find the exit. The exhibitions are usually worth the mild spatial disorientation.
6Royal Academy of Arts	Piccadilly	Historic institution, blockbuster shows, RA Schools and Summer Exhibition	Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BD	London	The grand old consultant of London galleries: venerable, a bit theatrical, but when it’s on form you remember why everyone still listens to it.
7Victoria Miro	Hoxton / Islington fringe	Thoughtful contemporary shows in warehouse-style spaces	16 Wharf Road, London N1 7RW	London	Feels like sneaking into someone’s very tasteful vascular lab by the canal. Calm, precise, and the kind of work that quietly rewires you over time.
