    Dire building, wonderful views
    Current
    Huge grey walls tower above you in the entrance hall - my idea of hell. But the views are fantastic. That wonderful pedestrian bridge. The landmark Gherkin building nearby which people actually live in.

    You pay to go into exhibitions.

    The Tate Modern is one of the shining examples of how a modern art gallery should be done. The ever shifting exhibits in the turbine hall and the fantastic exhibitions make it worth returning again and again, and the free galleries are just as inspiring. One of my favourite places to go for the day in London.

    Some interesting pieces here. The multimedia guide (rather than the straight audio) is worth the investment. The 7th floor restaurant and bar - whilst more crowded than the members room - also has excellent views. Worth the climb.

    Smug tip

    If you are a member of the Tate foundation go to the members' bar on the 5th floor. Never too crowded, better food, and an enormous roof terrace at the back as well as a huge balcony at the front overlooking the Thames. Rarely any screaming kids and never any euroteens with dayglo back packs like the public (pah!) bar upstairs.

    Great place

    It's lovely to hang out here and look at some art. I think the conversion of an old power station into an art haven is wonderful.
    Entry's actually free, so enjoy. Also, make sure you go to the caf. It has a lovely view.

    Best place for Modern Art
    Current
    I love the Tate Modern. Always interesting exhibitions, and also the permanet ones are very good. The place is amazing, this ex poewer station is the perfect place for modern art. And then I love the Cafe, with a wonderful view of the City and the Millenium Bridge.

    THE place for modern art
    Current
    The Tate Modern is simply fantastic. Housed in a former power station, the ENORMOUS exhibition pieces in the turbine hall are themselves worth the visit. There are always excellent visiting exhibits, and the permanent exhibits are worth seeing again and again. Enjoy a quick snack or a coffee in the upstairs cafe, with excellent views of the Thames.

    Modern art at its best

    Modern Art has found a home! The Tate Modern is a stunning space with high ceilings. If just for the visit the Tate Modern is definitely worth a visit. And of course the modern art on display is a real feast for the senses!
