Saatchi Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Chelsea, London, founded by collector Charles Saatchi in 1985 and noted for large-scale exhibitions of emerging and contemporary artists. The gallery occupies a prominent gallery space on King’s Road and stages rotating temporary shows.

Exhibitions typically present painting, sculpture, installation and new-media work, often promoting artists early in their public careers. The gallery program has had significant influence on the contemporary art market and public exposure for young artists.

The institution operates as a public gallery presenting a changing schedule of exhibitions and educational events in central London, within easy reach of Sloane Square and Chelsea transport links.

• Founder and focus: Founded by collector Charles Saatchi in 1985 and since the late 2000s established in Chelsea, the gallery focuses on contemporary art and frequently features first major shows by emerging artists.
• Admission and location: Often offers free general admission to rotating temporary exhibitions across large gallery spaces located in a former royal building on King’s Road.

Saatchi Gallery is in Chelsea on Duke of York’s HQ near the King’s Road. The nearest Tube is Sloane Square (District and Circle lines), about a 5-10 minute walk; Victoria Station is a 10-15 minute walk away and also offers National Rail and Underground connections.

Several London buses serve King’s Road and nearby stops (including routes that call at Sloane Square); driving access is via King’s Road with limited local parking-use public transport where possible.

• Book timed tickets for temporary exhibitions in advance and visit on a weekday morning or late afternoon to avoid weekend peaks-general admission areas are free but special shows attract queues.
• Use Sloane Square (Circle/District line) and walk through Duke of York Square to the gallery entrance to avoid heavy pedestrian flow on King's Road; check the gallery's events calendar-talks and openings can change when galleries are busiest.
