For those who love British paintings, especially Turner, Constable and Gainsborough, for example, Tate Britain is a haven and a true gem. Take your time exploring the collections - and if it may feel a little too much, take a break in the café or at Rex Whistler Restaurant. The museum is only a few minutes walking distance from Pimlico... more

In preparation for this I booked a... more

After hearing Tate Britain this, Tate Britain that, I really had high expectations. But upon arrival, I was asking myself if I was in the wrong building! First of all, it was very isolated from most of London attractions. Not easy to find or to get to. The staff strutted around in black t-shirts, acting like a bunch of pretentious... more

I must admit that I was a bit disappointed by the the Tate Britain. The building's interior lacks the warmth of the V & A or the beauty of the National Gallery. The collections of English art are very good, but some of the works are in obvious need of cleaning or restoration. The Tate shop can't compare to the... more
