Trafalgar Square

Westminster

The National Gallery at Trafalgar Square holds the serious painting. You come for the collections, deep and centuries-spanning, and the space itself justifies the trip. The position matters: West End's minutes away, Covent Garden and Leicester Square nearby, and the square hosts events throughout the year. You'll find a proper mix. School groups, locals passing through, tourists, people tracking a specific painter they've read about, people just wanting an afternoon in front of something worthwhile. The advantage is being central enough to reach easily but positioned far enough from the main tourist flow that you can actually stand and look at what's on the walls without the crush.

Nothing on here right now. Check back soon.
