Tate Britain
The Tate Britain is the keeper of an impressive historical archive of British art.
Built in 1897, the Tate is currently undergoing an ambitious programme of expansion. When all is complete, there will be six new galleries for temporary exhibition and nine new or refurbished ones for the Tate's permanent collection of peerless Blakes, Reynolds, Gainsboroughs, Hogarths, Constables, Turners and Pre-Raphaelite beauties.
Its sister gallery, the brand-spanking new Tate Modern, is housed in the former Bankside Power Station. The Tate Modern displays the Tate's collection of international modern art, including major works by Bacon, Dalí, Picasso, Matisse, Rothko and Warhol, as well as work by more contemporary artists.
The building is as exciting as the art: gorgeous industrial-strength red brick with a 325ft-high (99m-high) chimney. The former turbine hall, below street level and running the length of the vast building, now forms the awe-inspiring entrance to the gallery.
Can I drive my london hire car to Tate Britain?
Tate Modern is located on the south bank of the River Thames at Bankside, near Blackfriars Bridge, opposite St Paul's Cathedral and next to the Globe Theatre making both driving and parking near Tat Britain difficult - Public transport is the easiest way of reaching the gallery as parking at Tate Modern is severely restricted in the surrounding streets.
The Millennium Bridge now provides a new pedestrian route across to and from St Paul's Cathedral and the city and St Paul's London Underground station including Central line services. Approximate walking time to Tate Britain from St Paul's Cathedral is about 10 minutes.
