A wonderful place to show the kids a world of classical art and history. more

I count myself an art lover, and I've been looking forward to visiting the National Gallery for years. I surprised myself by packing so much into my London trip that I had only an hour left to do the NG on our last night. I knew, however, that it is open late on Fridays, and having taken advantage of evening... more

Don't miss this art treasure! We did not have enough time for a thorough visit and rushed to see fifteen masterpieces. Allow 2-3 hours on your first visit, and then come back for an hour or two whenever you are in Trafalgar Square.

Free. But they did have some paintings worth seeing. In my opionion about 1 in 10, so I had to wade though a lot of other paintings. Definately worth seeing once. more
