Being a fan of contemporary art, I always make sure to visit this gallery when I am near the South Bank. I spent a few hours exploring the massive Turbine Hall and the various free collections throughout the building. The scale of the industrial architecture is breathtaking, and the selection of modern art is always thought provoking. My favorite highlight is definitely the viewing level, as it offers some of the best panoramic views of the Thames and St Paul’s Cathedral.
Great contemporary artwork as part of the collection to view free of charge. There are also ticketed options to view. I recommend taking the lift to the 10th floor to enjoy a spectacular view of the city, especially St. Paul’s. There is a cafe there but with very little seating available.
This a place I always enjoy coming back from time to time. It’s such a beautiful piece of architectural design and holds an amazing collection of history, culture and art. The exhibitions are well done and always such a pleasure to see the different styles and features presented. Located right next to the southbank is a bonus. A worthy visit for sure.
I had a pretty good time at Tate Modern! The exhibits were really interesting and thought-provoking. I especially enjoyed the unique installations, like the one made of black slate pieces and the other with numerous white objects. It's a fantastic place for art lovers. ✨🎨🖼️
I always have a great time at the Tate Modern — it’s one of those places that feels spacious, open, and easy to walk around. The huge Turbine Hall and wide gallery spaces make it comfortable even on busy days, and there’s always something new to see. The permanent collections are free to enter, and the building itself — a converted power station on the Thames — is part of the experience Getting There by Tube (and other transport tips) Closest Tube & Train Stations - Blackfriars Station — Circle & District lines. This is the closest station, about a 5–10 minute walk. Exit on the south side of the Thames for the quickest route. - Southwark Station — Jubilee line. Around a 10‑minute walk heading north toward the river. - St Paul’s Station — Central line. Walk across the Millennium Bridge for a scenic approach. - London Bridge Station — Northern & Jubilee lines. A 15–20 minute riverside walk. Useful Bus Routes Routes 45, 63, 100, 344, 381 stop nearby.
