The National Gallery Reviews

Art at it's best. One has to spend atleast 2 to 3 days to go through the whole art collection.

A must see for anyone who likes paintings. Temporary Sorolla exhibition is amazing.

Could spend a day here - fabulous and free! Wont accept suitcases or large bags inside.

The National Gallery is located at Trafalgar Square in Westminster City.
It's a free gallery and the collection of paintings are fantastic. If you plan to walk through this gallery, you'll be overwhelmed.

You can check on the gallery's website to see what paintings of that artist they have, or what artists are present at the time.
It's another must see attraction in London
I wish they had more places to sit. After walking the endless corridors and standing looking at the beauty it would be nice to go back to your favorites and sit and enjoy. The gift shops are nice too. You can easily spend 3-hours here. So you can explore until your legs give out type of museum like The British Museum or the Louvre in France. So leave enough time to properly to be able see the collection and its great pieces of work. With it being situated in the heart of London and nearby stations such as Charing Cross tube station, Charing Cross underground and the Embankment tube station all a short walk away allows your to easily travel about london with ease, in addition, an endless amount of bus stops and buses so if you want to get somewhere you have a abundance of them to choose from and finally with areas such as Leicester Square, the River Thames, Soho, St-James park and Piccadilly Circus leading to the west end all nearby in close proximity meaning a Great day out can be had. Happy travels!

Beautiful building that holds some of humanity's finest works. Free to the public, you can explore the vast halls and wings and spend a whole day viewing beautiful art.

This museum is free but donations are needed and sought. There is so much here! Paintings, mosiac, several great gift shops.

Excellent if interested in art. Went on a Saturday very busy had to queue to get in but it is free.

An art museum located in central London, north of Trafalgar Square. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The present building, the third to house the National Gallery, was More

One of the world's great collections. And free to enter.

amazing workshops for kids during half term. friendly staff and an engaging approach to exposing children to the arts

Wonderful gallery, so full of beautiful paintings. If highly recommend one of the free tours, the guides are knowledgeable and so interesting.

Absolutely amazing. This museum has beautiful pieces, is spacious, has a locker room for your luggage and coats and entree is free. When visiting London this is a must see. (And be so kind to leave a donation)

One of the best galleries in the world, a true trip in Art History

Top gallery we went back for a second visit. Extensive collection of the very best

Top notch. I wish there was a guide of sorts to point which exactly is in any room. Preferably an electronic one? So I can search Rafael and go straight to look at his work.

Excellent, even without the current Impressionist exhibition!

Not all the paintings were to my taste but that's the nature of art. That said, I had specifically gone to the Monet exhibition - I was not disappointed. Beautiful. Great to see them up close and personal.

good if you are interested in medieval art, there is a lot of it, also nice architecture, but it gets boring if you dont like THAT kind of painting

The way it's set up is weird but once we asked for the beginning, oldest painting section, it was fine. Went from oldest art to modern art in chronological order. Was great. Soooo many people. Went in September. Loved the architecture of the building and the ornate interior.

Im not that into art but due to it was "a must see" in my check list I decided to go and have a look. Free entry and LOTS of paintings - most of them very very well made and some even 3x the height of myself. I just cant imagine how much work that has been put into these things. The whole building itself is a masterpiece and must have cost well over billions of pounds. Just the architecture itself is worth the look.

Impressive. Mind some saloons may close for the museums heritage for some days.

a wonderful free thing to do in london. great for a rainy day as you can spend hours wandering here. my favourite works is just before you enter the halls if you look down at the floor at the beautiful mosaics by boris anrep.

Beautiful works of art, very accesible layout. Beware of coat check and closing times, they are overly strict about closing early.

Free entrance to an amazing museum, a must see if you are in London.

Always a beautiful museum to visit. The building is so stunning, inside and out. And it's free! Nice to pop in even over a lunch hour if you work in the area.

Beautiful art gallery, so much to see... all for free! Cafe serves afternoon tea... make a day of it!

Pity some exhibits are pay only, could make for a prohibitively expensive visit :(

Not really my kind of museum, but the art was pretty good

So many beautiful paintings here. Some of the portraits look like photos because the eyes and faces are so life like.

Amazing museum with many cultural events to choose from.

Only visited the restaurant on this occasion. Food was lukewarm and over-priced. Waiter tried to make amends by reducing the bill. Shan't eat there again.

I love the National Gallery and have done all my life. Just the Constables and Turner's on their own are wonderful, never mind all the other lovely rooms. And completely free. A huge source of national pride

One of the best art galleries in Europe. A must visit when in London

Monet Architecture exhibition was an excellent experience. So we'll thought out & informative.

Very extensive range of Artworks on display. Can easily get lost and miss things. Free to enter but they do ask for donations.
Large gift shop with a wide range of items. Not cheap.

As well as holding a fantastic national collection of art, I particularly love the medieval galleries and especially the Wilton Diptych.

A last minute idea and I'm really glad we decided to go... sometime in art to appreciate for everyone, an exhibition of the old masters spanning 600 years.

Very pleasant visit. Felt comfortable with the right COVID system in place. Not too crowded.

There's so much to see - wonderful exhibitions! In addition, the food in the cafe is delicious and very reasonably priced.

Cleverly curated
I enjoyed it and found staff helpful
Still stand back in awe at picture over 600 years old and still able to reach our eyes and hearts
We were in the presence of genius and beauty
I was a concession so I can see that some would object to full cost
But not I !!!!

Lovely place to visit. Just look at the paintings.

I saw Van Gogh paintings, historical paintings, sculptures and cool stuff

Wonderful, love the wide variety of period paintings.

Great visit to the Sainsbury wing of the National Gallery to see the exhibition " Monet & Architecture

Great gallery with plenty of interesting stuff. It's free.

Alan your a super star thank you for your great knowledge today.
Guys this man was so helpful and has a BIG Smile.
Thank you Alan for making my visit one to remember.

Pretty disappointingly. Impressionist work is thin. Too much mediocre British stuff. The highlight is the Breughal collection, which is outstanding.

Amazing art from all over the world. Completely free and has toilets and a cafe. Always has great exhibits on.

Famous masters adorn the walls of this iconic building. You can spend day's going through all the arts works.

Unfortunately I was 'told off' by a very rude security person who spoke to me in such a stern manner I was embarrassed

Badly organised... Went to the Rembrandt exhibition, far too many people inside to view pictures properly! Chaotic! Most disappointed, a waste of time and money.

It's wonderful place if you want learn properly HISTORY OF ART

The national gallery has a great range of artwork from all the way back in 1200 to recent years. There is also a good range of styles throughout the years like the older religious paintings and portraiture to newer landscapes and cityscapes and a few abstract pieces. Therefore, I would definitely recommend this gallery to anyone who wants to see a wide variety of art and discover what they like. I also recommend the gallery to artists because there are seats in most rooms and you are allowed to bring a stool to sit and draw on if there is any art that inspires you. I certainly enjoyed to see the different dates and styles of art and found what I liked!

Lovely place to look around with all the family. Fab pictures

An outstanding gallery with a world-renowned art collection. It's always a pleasure to visit.

Paintings are mesmerizing,we are no one great to praise those wonderful painting, Hatsoff to great artists!

It's an art gallery full of great art, what more can be said.

Excellent collection of arts, enjoyed my time there. Big bus tour is a must!

Great place for art lovers and those who seeks to learn more about history of paintings. Many various pieces of art, you can easily spend entire day there.

Brilliant venue. I came here for a company event. The auditorium held around 300 people comfortably. Then we used one of the rooms upstarts for drinks and canapes. If you are looking to host an event... give the national gallery a try.

Awful place to visit. Quite pointless going there as you won't actually get to see any of the works.

So for God's sake ban photography and get these bloody people out of the way!

And opening hours are still the same as they were 50 years ago but visitor numbers must have risen tenfold. So start charging and use income to pay for more staff to allow 24 hour opening.

This is the 21st century.

A national treasure, even if you have no interest art you can't fail to be impressed and maybe moved

An absolutely fantastic range of art, in a spectacular building. Thank you for not charging a set entrance fee, it's good to keep art accessible for everyone

Amazing, definitely a must-see gallery. Can get really busy, so I'd recommend avoiding the busiest times, but amazing experience.
