La fortezza di cemento della Hayward Gallery, sulla South Bank, è un edificio che si ama o si odia dal punto di vista architettonico, ma le mostre ospitate sono costantemente tra le più ambiziose di Londra. Le esposizioni tendono a essere immersive, di grande formato e capaci di far riflettere: installazioni luminose che riempiono intere sale, oppure retrospettive che ridefiniscono la reputazione di un artista. La terrazza con sculture sul tetto offre una vista splendida sul Thames. La galleria chiude tra una mostra e l'altra, quindi è sempre bene verificare prima di visitarla.
