Tate Modern
The old disused Bankside power station was put to good use in the millennium year, when Tate Modern opened its doors to the public. Although the newly built Millennium Bridge that would have carried many people from the city and St Paul’s suffered in its first week from a wobble, that took a couple of years to put right, it did not seem to effect the opening of this museum of British art from the year 1500 to the present day.
It has become in such a short time, one of the most visited museums in London, and yet because of its sheer size it never seems over crowded. It appeals to all age groups and take a while to see everything as it encompasses seven floor levels
It is free to visit most of the museum, although the do have some exhibitions that may have carry a charge. Allow a good three hours for a comprehensive visit.

Easy accessible from the city via the Millennium Bridge and there is a well serviced taxi rank outside the main entrance. Also a good tea and hot snack stall outside.
