Tate Britain

A short walk from the Houses of Parliament, Tate Britain showcases more than 500 years of British art.

With the main gallery hung in chronological order, visitors can stroll through the centuries, exploring shifting styles and subjects right up to the present day. This is an extensive, eclectic collection, with highlights including John Everett Millais’ “Ophelia”, Edward Burne-Jones’s “The Golden Stairs” and Bridget Riley’s “Fall” – but the real draw here is the ‘journey’ itself!

Complementing this broad sweep, the gallery is also home to an extensive range of works by William Blake and J.M.W Turner, two legendary (but very, very different) British artists – while an ever-changing set of temporary exhibitions helps to create the legends of tomorrow!
