    Free entrance for one of the best museum in London. Simply amazing what you can find inside if you are passionate about art. The location - Trafalgar Square - is also great!

    Great collection, but in this era of no flash digital cameras they should give up on trying to enforce no photos. The constant nagging of tourists from security is annoying.

    I would recommend the use of audio guide it’s worth the money £5 and you can use you own phone and headset/pods. Good value and well presented.
