Tate Modern
One of the most remarkably staged London galleries. there is all sorts of avant garde audio visual art to explore and engage with as you walk up through the multiple floors, enjoying sweeping river and city views as you pass works by twentieth century greats like Dali, Duchamp, Warhol and Hockney. Southwark tube station is the closest (a five minute walk away), but we recommend a slightly longer walk from St Paul’s tube station as you get to cross the Thames on the Millennium Bridge with the dramatic museum building right in front of you.
