National Portrait Gallery
In the heart of London, the side-by-side National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery are always exhibiting must-see shows, from Van Gogh retrospectives to global photography competition entries.
If you’ve worked up an appetite from all that wandering, head upstairs in the latter to the Portrait Restaurant for afternoon tea, and nibble on delicious scones, cakes and sarnies while gazing out of the window – the restaurant offers views of Nelson’s Column, Big Ben and, on a clear day, The London Eye.
