Where to go

From FB:
The National Gallery. Here you will find everything from Medieval to early and High Renaissance and beyond to 17th Century. If this is your main interest this is your place.

2. The British Museum. As I said before, this is a must. Elgin Marbles, Egyptian Mummies, the Rosetta stone and the famous “Bog Man.” Make sure if you go there to see the “Bog Man” – it is weird, creepy and completely fascinating.

3. The Modern Tate Museum. This is the Tate that is close to where I am are staying. Basically it has Post War 1945 – Present. If I remember correctly, they even have some Duchamp! (Do without Angie because she isn't into it)

Icons: ; Big Ben, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Parliament, etc…

Additional:
Tate Gallery – This is over on the other side of the Thames, and has a wonderful gallery of paintings by Turner as well as a solid permanent collection.

Tate Modern (or Tate 2) is housed in an old Power Station and this is where you will see more of the eclectic art. It is a great walk along the Thames to it and once you are done, walk along the river to the Tower Bridge and cross it to see the Tower of London.

Victoria & Albert Museum - Solid museum and a must see. National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery – Both great, and the National Portrait is right in Trafalgar Square (You will see the Nelson’s Column) and the Church: St. Martin’s in the Fields


Peace Tim :) HAVE FUN!
