The Guildhall Art Gallery Reviews

Nice museum which had paintings of the Victorian era. If you re interested in Victorian culture you should Visit. it s a great visit even if you re just nearby (which I did). They have lots of paintings, there s different levels from underground to 2nd floor. The shop is also nice, bought key rings. Entrance is free, just a bag check. Usually isn t packed and the outside is also beautiful. There s benches and it s close to many stations as it s in central.

The Roman ruins were amazing. It's an exquisite display. Well done!

Beautiful gallery and underground roman amphitheater, free entry and free tour

Interesting spot and free to access, the items chosen for display are not the most breathtaking though.

There's the remains of a Roman amphitheatre in the basement - what more do you want. Oh, they have some decent painting of London as well. But go for the ruins.

Interesting collection of art, and neat to see the old roman excavation below. Very moving World War exhibit on display while I was there.

Free admission, air conditioned and clean bathrooms also a plus.

I have lived in London for 7 years and had never been until recently. It's a real hidden gem - amazing to walk around the roman ruins in the basement!

A small art gallery on Victorian paintings and also history of the City. You can spent one hour here and definitely worth to stop!

Nice place, I ve been there with a group of kids who had a great experience on the amphitheatre with a friendly guide who made the day for the kids very interesting and enjoyable

Small art gallery but wonderful collection. Differently worth a visit.

One of the hidden gems of the City of London.
It is a fabulous art gallery showcasing some great Victorian masterpieces. There are some amazing paintings about london as well.
One of the most interesting this about the gallery is that it contains the Roman amphitheatre (an ancient monument) in its basement. A must see

Lots of art from Renaissance and Middle ages. It's also free. And right downtown. So why not?

It's got interesting exhibitions. It's small enough for the City worker to do an exhibition in a single lunch hour. But as the museum is free, if you need to return, you can!

I love going here mainly because it's just down my road, but it's also cosy. The seats are comfy, and it's clean. Friendly staff and student discount!

Free small art gallery. Free tours done frequently.

I love this gallery. Because it's off the tourist trail, you generally have the place to yourself despite it having a genuinely world class collection.

Top quality work displayed surrounded by remnants of the Roman wall.

An overlooked gem in the heart of the city. Take advantage of the free tours.
Don't miss the Roman ruins in the basement.

It's not a massive art gallery but the pieces are really worth seeing. Plus there's a Roman amphitheatre underneath!

Nice place to visit if you have some time off. The guided tours and the guide are very good. The Paintings are nice, the guide explains things very thoroughly, the Roman Amphitheatre in the basement is definitely worth a visit.

Nice gallery. There is a really interesting virtual reality experience at the basement, where the Roman amphitheatre is

Interesting collection and basement has remains of Roman amphitheatre

Absolutely loved it. Had a free tour which are run at particular times through the day. The guide was really knowledgeable and provided some useful insights into some of the paintings. Visited the amphitheatre underground. Didn't have time to see everything, but will be back!

Excellent display and got to visit The Roman Amphitheatre

A small, cozy gallery in the heart of the City of London. There are few visitors, but they are. Very friendly and unobtrusive staff. Pictures, basically. not very famous British artists of the mid 19th - first half of the 20th century. Solid realists, battle and genre plots. Temporary exhibitions are held. On the -1 floor, a chic exposition of Romanesque heritage. In a word, if you are a fan of Ilya Repin (and I am one of them) - you are here.

A true hidden gem, brilliant Victorian art and fantastic Roman ruins.

Very nice and quiet museum, not many people go here which I find strange. The amphi-theatre under the building is just amazing. Free tours three times a day, not bad at all.

Lovely building, good selection of mainly Victorian art.

The Roman Amphitheatre is amazing. A lovely tour by a very knowledgeable guide thrown in too!

A hidden gem in the City, definitely worth a visit! Wonderful Victorian art and the remains of the Roman amphitheatre!

Very interesting. And the roman finds are a must see

Beautiful gallery with paintings of London in centuries past.

A part of London that is so much an important place in British History.

Came here on 8th Nov to visit the Architecture of London exhibition. Closed for an event. Returned the next day. Closed for the Lord Mayor's Show. Absolutely no indication on their website (in fact, they were advertising a family day on 9th Nov - presumably your children get turned away for free).

It is an extraordinary small museum. Rich in 18th and 19th century painting, with Pre-Raphaelite references. It is located in the oldest part of London.

Brilliant gallery for a short day out. Recommend taking the free tour for interesting facts.

I visit at least once a fortnight. Rosetti and Millais are here. The amphitheatre really plays on the imagination. And best of all, rarely crowded.

An interesting gallery ... There are not many exhibits here but it is worth coming here for them. In the middle, everything is very cozy, nice and you can really be alone with your thoughts looking at the pictures.
By the way, I was very impressed by the amphitheater in the basement where history and modernity are combined!

The furnishings here are very British and the exhibits are not very special but very tasteful.

Absoolootlllee poo it is ahhfall so bowring im reelee disapointid in the servis!!!!!!! i orrddrrrrd a stake and they gayv me a tyranosorus reks im dislexik pls dont hayt *DAB*

Not the most exciting collection of paintings. Primarily Victorian portraits - some good examples of Millais and Tissot. The amphitheatre remains below are worth a look.

Varied collection of paintings, some by famous people, mainly men. Free admission. Part of Roman amphitheatre visible in the basement, but not very exciting.

FREE Admission!
Amazing gallery. There is quite a big security as you enter but for a good reason. Good quality in paitings. They were brilliant, so light and deep pigmet in the paint. I like it quite a lot. I did not expected that the gallery will be so big. At the beginning I thought will be maximum a room or two butnit turned out that there were also a ground floor and a lower ground floor. Wow. It looked impressive with that Arena in there and all the impressibe story I did hear from the curator.

Free gallery showcasing Victoria art. There is also a roman amputhearte, but this is closed at this moment in time.

Lovely paintings, especially the Pre-Raphaelites. Beautiful building, too. The welcoming lady at the reception desk is wonderful, and the toilets have to be seen to be believed. And all free!

Great place for history and culture of arts. All ages and it's free!!

Great to visit whilst close to it. Wouldn't recommend going just for it.

Interesting gallery with paintings and ampitheatre, good place to check out if you dont have anything to do in your lunch at work. As it is small enough to do within 30mins.

Amazing place. Mixing old roman history with contemporary paintings

Excellent gallery - a combination of oil paintings, exhibit about the World War I, ruins of roman amphitheathre. Great to have a look around, and even though gallery is quite small, it will keep you occupied for a couple of hours

Perfect gallery located in the city. You can plan a guided tour or visit the paintings and statues on your own. Access is free and some paintings are huge and some are colorful.
Step in and spend here some time to enjoy these classics

The food was gorgeous and filling. A lovely restaurant with most original features of the original building. A delight to eat in and take in the surroundings. Lovely cocktails too!

Very interesting, has some great paintings, and even offers a free tour. The best part however is most certainly the Roman Ampitheatre underneath the building, it is extremely interesting and well run.

Outstanding art collection and a Roman amphitheatre

Visiting London doesn't have to cost a fortune. Here is a perfect example of something interesting and completely free! Free entry. Free spacious and clean toilets. Free guided tour to tell you all about the history of the City of London through paintings mainly but there is also the remains of a roman amphitheatre in the basement.
Highly recommended.

Great art gallery with London theme and foundations of amphitheatre. The free audio guide is really good. They have interesting temporary exhibitions too.

A nice Museum & Art Gallery, complete with its own Roman ruins. Well worth it.

The City's (capital 'C'!) own art gallery next to it's historic Guildhall. Well presented collection of paintings mostly with some sort of City connection. Regular series of special exhibitions- currently on Victorian perceptions and depictions of children. If you're visiting the Gallery don't miss the Roman amphitheatre beneath! Entry is free apart from special exhibitions

Loved it. Free entry. Amazing to see underground with remnants of the roman wall built in 49A.D.

Nice art gallery, most interesting feature to me is the ruins of a roman amphitheater they discovered underneath the gallery. Definitely worth a gander!

Free admission to superb paintings & the Roman ampitheatre

Free to visit, small collection which includes some really superb paintings, and the Roman amphitheatre remains and old maps of London are very interesting. Well worth a visit, whether you live in London or are just visiting.

Nice art gallery, super friendly staff.
Entrance is free and they also offer free guided tours on Saturdays.
They have in display a charter from Richard the lionheart, the Roman amphitheater is another must-see.
