    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.

    THIS IS NOT THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY! ... Even if they do confuse you with the picture of Charles I on a horse. Same building, different doorway for the portraits. Ridiculous.
