Quite confusing to navigate on your first visit but the information desk was very polite and helpful. Queues can get pretty long and disorganised but people seem to be quite civil about it. The Van Gogh exhibition I went to was quite hot abd stuffy throughout on a reletivly cold day, I just hope it doesn't get and worse during the summer.

Lovely venue

Great and numerous internationally renowned artists in an impressive setting.

Turner, Gainsborough, Moore - The Gallery houses the world's largest collection of British artworks.

The sculptures of Henry Moore are in my view a real highlight.

Admission is free, as with all state museums in London. Donations are gladly accepted.

Conclusion: Tate Britain - a must have for every London tour!

It's a less well-known art museum than Tate Modern, but it's well worth the time. Rather, it is easier and more diverse than Tate Modern, so it is highly recommended for those who have difficulty in modern art!

Don't let the glam of it's Tate Modern little brother overshadow this great gallery. Its tracing of British art is unparalleled (and means there is something for everyone, whatever their tastes). While the exhibitions were wonderfully curated. And you are encouraged to draw as well!

This is a collection of works by British painters. The building itself is beautiful and the inside is well arranged.
It is less famous than Tate Modern and fewer people, but Tate Britain was even better when it came to work. I especially liked the 'The Turner Collection' room, which was a collection of works by William Turner.
I also have a boat trip between Tate Britain and Tate Modern, so I would like to enjoy the two Tate museums across the Thames.

A huge diverse range of art in the permanent collection is accompanied by some spectacular and challenging exhibitions. I have seen modern and classical exhibitions here that really opened my eyes to art. The building is gorgeous and the only criticism I would have is the members cafe.

Amazing! Was lucky enough to be there while the Van Gogh exhibition was on and there were such a great pieces, it was also a really moving exhibit. We also saw the Turner exhibition and I was highly recommend it, you could really see his progression through his art career and the change in his work over his last 20 years or so was really astounding.

Museum dedicated to contemporary and past British art (from 1500). It is open every day from 10 am to 6 pm. You can download a free app in order to have a free guide to the museum and thanks to which you can search for the paintings of individual artists within it. Admission is free but a donation is welcome.

A collection of works by British painters. Each room is divided by age.
The Turner collection seems to be the best.
Recommended by Turner and above is the work of the pre-Raphaelite painter, where many works by Rossetti and Millet are on display.
Also, there seems to be some works by Francisco Bacon, but there was only one exhibition.

Huge modern art museum situated in an old power station over looking the Thames and Tower Bridge. Fantastic views across London from the members bar and restaurant in the main building. Always interesting exhibits for all ages. Must get the Thames Clipper ferry from outside to go to Tate Britain to continue your art tour. Many free exhibits, some require tickets and pre booking. Restaurant is fairly good and usually has availability. Membership is good value and gives free access to premium exhibits.

A must! Very complete and free permanent exhibition. A gift to see Turner's paintings. 100% recommended. Better to organize the visit in several days Or decide which part you want to visit to not end up being visually exhausted.

Went to see the Edward Burne-Jones exhibition, very impressed some beautiful paintings. Love the Tate, always very clean well laid out and helpful staff. Bags checks in place on arrival, they have a cloakroom for large bags and coats. Worth a visit, handy for the Thames clipper too.

I have seen some great exhibitions here. Even when they're not great, the permanent exhibits are worth revisiting.
Drawbacks - it's hard to find your way around (where *are* the toilets?) and I still don't know where the members' room is. Signage is very poor.

One of the wonderful things about visiting London ...

One of the wonderful things about visiting London (which can be an incredibly expensive city) is the number of free options for art and culture. The Tate Britain is a beautiful building with a fantastic collection of sculptures. They have several Hockney s (one on display at the moment) and a tremendous Van Gogh exhibit this summer. A lovely morning or afternoon option and right next to Millenium Pier so grab your Oyster card and head up the Thames after your museum outing.

Always interesting and challenging. Non figurative art isn't really my thing, fortunately there are lots of understandable paintings and exhibitions as well as the incomprehensible. Some of the paintings have Instagram tags where you can see a mixed reality overlay of information about the painting which was great.

Another amazing art gallery and it's free worth your time and you can always have a break at the coffee shop. Very nice scones. There are some paid exhibitions but otherwise it's one of the best places to visit in London, away from the busiest areas and tourist traps.

Tate Britain is, by definition, full of National Treasures. For a tourist a short learning curve on British History as well as British Art: for a local there is always an interesting exhibition ...what's not to like?
