Why locals recommend it

My daughter loves this architectural giant of an art gallery. The underground space called the Tanks, on the right of the Turbine Hall, is her favourite. Dedicated to video and interactive art, it’s totally immersive for children, and I enjoy exploring art genres I wouldn’t normally engage with. There’s a “drawing bar” on level one in the Boiler House where anyone can take a seat at a digital sketch pad and get drawing. My daughter and I have spent hours here—she never tires of seeing her digital drawings projected on the wall.

Stunning Modern Art in a converted power station by the river (see also Tate Britain for classic art, Turner, Renaissance etc )

The World famous Tate Modern is spectacular - recently expanded to include the cavernous 'Tanks', amazing dark spaces for live performance art, sculpture and installations. If you enjoy perfectly curated modern art I think it's a must for any trip that includes the best of London. Take the Central line from Queensway to St Paul's and head south to cross the Thames by the pedestrian Millenium Bridge for the best approach to the gallery.

Lovely walk up the Thames from London Bridge. You can visit St Paul Cathedral by crossing River using Millennium Bridge.

Incredible Modern art gallery in 6 floors with everything from contemporary art to classics - and most of it for free. With a fantastic 'view point' over London and also cool restaurants and cafes. I'm thrilled that such a fabulous bastion of arts and culture is right on my doorstop - just a short 5 minute walk. There is always an interesting new exhibit or installation to lose yourself in and events to enjoy. A renovated old power station, I always leave feeling 10 times smarter, brimming with culture and new information.
