The Ron Arad piece at the Roundhouse is definitely worth a couple of hours of your time. It comprises 10 or so artists' video work on a 360 degree silicone tube curtain - its a 2 hour loop.
My favourite was by Ori Gersht and features a bullfighter getting dressed combined with film of the audience getting ready for the fight to commence along with sounds of the bull getting ready - lots of tension and a fascinating insight into what a bullfighter wears ...
Mat Collishaw's piece Sordid earth was very atmospheric
David Shrigley's giant naked man was interesting at the start but didn't really develop into anything
Klasmer and Klasmer's piece made good use of the 360 degree screen and of new technology
