Lonely Planet review

Alongside Charles Saatchi, owner of the erstwhile Saatchi Gallery, the White Cube's Jay Jopling was the man responsible for bringing 'Britart' to the public's attention in the 1990s. White Cube is now firmly part of Britain's 'new establishment' but shows by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and other less well-known artists mean it's always worth coming just to have a look. There's another White Cube in St James's.

Jopling worked with a young Damien Hirst before Saatchi came on the scene, showcased the works of sculptor Antony Gormley (responsible for Gateshead's huge Angel of the North sculpture and Event Horizon, in which 31 metal casts of the sculptor's naked body were perched on the edge of buildings surrounding the South Bank) and married artist Sam Taylor-Wood.
