If you're keen to witness the iconic figures of the UK encapsulated within a single building, the National Portrait Gallery offers a fantastic immersion into British and, of course, London culture. And fear not, even if photography isn't your cup of tea – the gallery boasts paintings dating back to 1500s. Recently renovated and reopening its doors in 2023, it's an absolute must-visit.We'd always recommend arriving early to dodge the lines and secure your own space while relishing the art!
