First ever gallery I visited in London in 1973! I'll never forget entering a small, darkly-lit side room, squinting and thinking..' and what might be in here, in such a small room?..' and then was confronted by this somewhat large framed cartoon: I blinked and squinted..lo and behold.. Madonna and Child, Leonardo da Vinci..took my breath away!!
The rest, as they say..is history. I have been coming here ever since and have been a member now for several years. Surely one of the best galleries in the world.
Avoid the restaurants/cafes; poor service and customer care..outrageous prices. Lots of refreshment places nearby. Go for the Art..not the refreshment!
