Of all the museums we visited in London, this was my favorite. It doesn't draw the throngs that the National Gallery does, even though it is right around the corner. I liked the timeline layout (although it was very easy to get out of order), and I particularly enjoy looking at the faces of history. Kind of brings it to... more

Very interesting place. Well worth a visit (and the admission is free). At the time we went there, there was a exhibition of BP Portrait Award 2009 and that was very good. more

I actually liked this better than the adjacent National Gallery. It's essentially an art museum for history buffs. You get to see thousands of portraits of all those famous Brits, from kings to poets to physicists throughout Britain's glorious and fascinating history.

I suggest starting on the top, then moving down, which follows the flow of the years in which they were painted. Two important hints that the guidebooks won't... more

I happened upon this brillant photo gallary one afternoon after visiting the National Gallery. I am sure glad I went in and looked around. It was brillant. I look forward to going back my next trip to London. more

The museum is full of several floors of all kinds of paintings and art and is most interesting, as well as a respite when you're tired of walking in the hot outdoors. The cafe at the top of the museum I cannot comment on, because we sat there for 30 minutes before finally leaving while nobody came to take our... more
