You can't miss visiting this place while in London. The building itself is gorgeous and the staff is friendly, well informed and - most important of all - passionate about art. It's amazing how you stumble across legendary pieces just by wandering the hallways. I haven't tried the audio guides but I heard they are really good. The info panels accompanying each work are succint and don't delve into much biographical or technical detail, which is perfect for the amateur art lover. This gallery has the world's most famous painters on permanent display and is (in my opinion) one of the best in Europe.
