2 weeks agoI have visited the Gallery several times over the years and I'm still as impressed today as I was on my first visit. There is something for everyone and there are many very beautiful pieces of art. Rembrandt, Turner, Gainsborough,Titian,Holbein,van Dyke, Monet, Van Gogh, Rubens, the list is endless and very impressive. There is no entrance fee, there are cafes, restrooms, cloakrooms and lots and lots to see. Give yourself plenty of time to make the most of your visit.

a week agoThe problem with the National Gallery is that there is too much to take in during just one visit. Had we lived closer to London, we would have come once a week and spend time in just one room, to really appreciate the paintings and read the description. But it is a privilege to be able to visit, and it is free. One must not forget to have a good look around the building, with its beautiful interior and decorative ceilings. What is not to like?

2 weeks agoNational Gallery never fails to impress. We thoroughly enjoyed the recent Neo-Impressionist exhibition, which was beautifully curated. The members' area is a real highlight – it's a peaceful space where you can sit and relax away from the crowds, and they serve lovely coffee. It's the perfect spot to take a break and process what you've seen before heading back into the galleries.

a month agoGreat collection here at the British National Gallery! Free entry means anyone can enjoy and have glance with these master art works! Strongly encourage to donate what you can to keep this free entry. There donation boxes at the entrance and around the gallery. Must see when you are in London! Thank you!

a week agoA very spacious series of galleries housing some of the best known images in the international art world. With a restaurant and toilets and plenty of friendly guides you can easily spend a day here, or just pop in and revisit your favourites. It may look daunting from the outside but the new entrance makes the whole place accessible for anyone. Children of any age will find something to look at and many school trips visit and no they don't disturb the 'grown ups'! A teashop, restaurant, bookshop and well stocked shop make this a day, or two to remember.
