Stunned by Saatchi Gallery

I hope everyone's doing great! The only excuse for my absence is that a lot has been going on lately. Sadly we're leaving London really soon which is why we packed our days with everything we still had to do before leaving. Literally no time for sitting down and writing a proper blogpost. But now I want to share what we've been doing during the last week.

One time in Lush we met this really nice guy who worked there. We had a chat and he advised us to visit Saatchi Gallery at Sloane Square. We took his tip to heart and weren't disappointed at all. Saatchi Gallery is a really unique gallery.

The first thing we saw when entering was a giant room with big ants crawling the walls! All the ants were handmade which is unbelievable considering the amount you would find in the room. Just jaw-dropping.

Then you would continue to the other gallery rooms where you could find paintings as well as installations.

One of my favourites definitely has to be the oil installation by Richard Wilson. A whole room where maybe one quarter was completely filled with oil. You could smell it when entering the room but still many people thought of the oil as something else like a mirror. Me and my friend too wouldn't have thought it was oil if the guy from Lush hadn't told us about the room before.
The fascinating thing about the oil was that the room looked like at least double its size because of the reflection on the ground.

We spent over two and a half hours at Saatchi Gallery. There was just so much to discover and we always took as much time as needed for beholding the art work. I absolutely enjoyed Saatchi Gallery. Whenever I come back to London I'll go back to Saatchi Gallery as well. They often change their exhibitions which is why I'm looking forward the next time going to Saatchi Gallery. A Must-See!

Temple (aka one of London's secrets)

I couldn't believe my eyes when me and my friend went to Temple for some exploring. Why? Because it was so beautiful but there was not a single tourist besides us two!
But when I think about I wouldn't directly call us tourists as living here for three months is not the usual time span for a brief vacation.
People who come here for a short stay can't really get into all of the cities secrets and that's okay. But I'm really happy to have the time for finding all (or at least some of the many) hidden places London has to offer.

I think the area of Temple is one of them. It's not really big but extremely beautiful. Temple is located around Temple Church and near the Royal Courts of Justice. Overall the area is focused on Law with lawyer's offices everywhere. But you'll also find enchanting parks every now and then while strolling through the area.
