National Gallery
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Here you can pop into the National Gallery- it’s free and has nice toilets and cafe, as well as obviously nice art to look at.
- The British Museum and the National Gallery can each easily take a full day on their own
- I was thinking more the IWM and the National gallery, to see a few things we’ve both only seen in pictures or a screen. (And he agrees, I don’t have to drag him with.)
- National Gallery and Portrait Gallery on Trafalgar Square are pretty cool too. And free!
- So far I have the V&A, National Gallery, Camden Market, Skygarden, Tate Modern (a must-do for her) and Outernet on my list.
Cons
- If you're going to relive meeting Q in the National Gallery it's probably worth getting a free fast track entry ticket, as queues (geddit?) can be quite long.
- finally made it to the National Gallery - nice but very heavy 13th-14th century art which grows a bit repetitive after a while for me.

I saw what I wanted to see in the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery in under 2 hours for free.
It's really nice and open and not too crowded and lots of places to sit rest and cafes and restaurants But only if they love European art!

the National Gallery charges £400 for a daytime tour, £1.5k for an after-hours tour - but can usually be customised, eg would match her love for Japanese art where possible.
