The Serpentine Galleries consist of two artsy spaces that play host to a variety of annual events in London. Located within the grounds of Hyde Park at Kensington Gardens, there are two galleries linked by a bridge over the Serpentine Lake. Visitors make their way to London to visit local and international exhibitions of live performances, theatre productions, culture exhibitions and much more. With the city welcoming tourists during events season, nearby accommodations tend to fil up quickly. Shaftesbury London offers a selection of hotels located close to Hyde Park and nearby areas in the city. To avoid disappointment, make sure you secure a booking ahead of time. These are some of the most popular upcoming events not to miss out on.
