My absolute favourite gallery in the whole wide world! Tate Britain is the place to go for art, with a good mix of modern and traditional, old masters and new pretenders.

Hosting the perennially controversial Turner Prize exhibition each year, the Tate Britain gallery offers a glimpse of the forefront of modern art mixed with classic portraiture and sculpture. My personal favourite is the statue â¬ÜThe Sluggardâ¬". Also, video of an orange exploding! On the (arguably) more traditional front, there are (or were) some great William Blake illustrations from his illuminated manuscripts on display.

Overall, a great day out ⬠you could spend hours there and not see everything. And, like all of our Great British galleries, itâ¬"s free!My absolute favourite gallery in the whole wide world!
