Quick review of City Art Galleries
A wonderful outing for anyone visiting London is spending a few hours in the National Gallery in Trafalger Square whatever your taste in Art you will find it there...my favourite is Room 13 where the Impressionists are hung, living in Wimbledon I frequently go into town just to keep my eye on them so to speak...this is completely free to visit,has a cafe's and a restaurant, a couple of shops to stock up on things you have seen,cloakroom to leave bags if you are loaded with shopping and nice toilets...the only advice is it is not really for young children..too busy and they get bored.....Art lovers...A MUST!!! ...
