A national treasure housing wonderful classical paintings from many renowned artists. This is a real treasure trove of art from different periods. Artists such has Turner, Constable, Titian, Holbein, Monet, Velazquez, Caravaggio, Vermeer and many more. If you just have half an hour drop in a d just visit one of the many rooms, but you could also spend all day here admiring the paintings.
My particular favourite is Room 34 which exhibits the dazaling seascapes by Turner (including the "Fighting Temeraire") and the beautiful landscapes of Constable (including "Stratford Mill") also Gainsborough exhibited in this room. Also don't miss Room 41 for the famous Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" and Monet's "Water-Lily Pond". I think the "Sunflowers" painting is the most photographed in the Gallery.
Entrance to the National Gallery is currently not via the main entrance (which is exit only) but through the Sainsbury Wing to the right of the building.
