My young daughter and I are very excited to be able to go to the National Portrait Gallery, and one reason is that it is still free! We had a fantastic visit and saw a large number of artists on display, and the historical figures that went on to Princess Diana and even updated, really wonderful. The beautiful venue layout made people have a good experience and definitely added points to our trip to London.

This is a wonderful place to while away a couple of hours. The subjects range from royalty to sportspersons, film stars, engineers, inventors, the list goes on; and there are photographic portraits as well as paintings. Unusually for such places, there is no objection to taking non-flash photos.
London is also the capital of art! Museums and galleries of all countries are free to the public! Children are inspired by art from an early age, it is really good! I envy them for having such a good resource!
The newly re-opened NPG is definitely worth a visit. The new hang presents a new way of looking at portraitures.
Exactly what is says it is. See the great and the good, the modern and historical and if they haven't been painted by someone trying to make a name for themselves they even look like who they are! It s a win win!
The Portrait Gallery is a neat spot to spend a few hours. It's free, so there's no risk in it, and it's conveniently located around the corner from Trafalgar Square. Here you will find the official portraits of many famous Britons from centuries past that you typically see in the history books. You'll also find many an intriguing image of celebrities and common folk.
Free entry. A lot of great stuff from different periods. Some of the parts cost money.
Best galleries for art and photography exhibitions. Next to the Trafalgar Square and Garrick Theatre at Charing's Cross. It is free for visitors due to the national funding so do catch the new exhibit when in town.
