National Portrait Gallery
Westminster
4 upcoming events
National Portrait Gallery occupies the heart of Covent Garden with what's arguably the world's best portrait collection. It's not a place for blockbuster shows; the programming centres on portraiture itself, looking seriously at how you capture a face or a moment of recognition. You'll find competitions, exhibitions that ask what a portrait actually does. The crowd's mixed: people flowing through from Leicester Square, but also Londoners who want to think about something while they're looking. It's the kind of place where you can spend time with a single painting and come away understanding something you didn't before: what makes a portrait work, what stays with you when it's done well.
