Often overlooked for the higher profile Tate Modern -- which is sad, because this collection and its building is tremendous. 20th century British section is an ongoing education for me.

Sasha SSeptember 15, 2014Try to view the pieces in chronological order. In the end there is a room with computers showing nice video guide about the museum. It really helps to understand what you just have seen. Free wifi

Yeliz AticiDecember 22, 2014the building it self is amazing!tate britain is really great! turner hall is amazing! especially queen elizabeth 1's portrait is a must see!spend half a day at least!
Ksenia V.December 7, 2018Edward Burnes Jones exhibition was very good. The permanent exhibition is less robustly laid out/narrated and it’s harder to make sense of it. However, the collection is really strong.
Łukasz TyrałaMarch 29, 2018On the -1 floor there are different types of restaurants and cafes. Beautiful interior and nice exhibitions.
Not the Tate Modern! A rather overlooked museum which is a shame because well worth a visit. And a beautiful staircase!
Lucille FisherOctober 18, 2015It's unfortunate that Tate Britain has a been overshadowed by its younger sibling Tate Modern, but if one is into British Art history, this is the place to be!
Stacy Bo BacyApril 14, 2019The hour-long tours will give you some really great information on just a handful of pieces. And they’re free!
KarenSeptember 23, 2023Pretty small museum with some pretty amazing artwork. Find the painting of Icarus - it's incredible to look at. Also, right outside gallery 2 is a piece of art that honors tragic fallen heroes.
Beautiful architecture and British Art to admire and see. The tours are really interesting too.
Esalina SafridaMarch 7, 2016Love the art inside the museum,especially for moeslim artist there. And also dont forget to try mango and lemon cake, thats really good

Foozee UridilJuly 22, 2015It was a great surprise that the Tate is free (£4 donation is requedted). only for single rooms in the basement ticket needed. a beautyful museum with diverse srtworks thrigh all centurys. :)
Great as a lunchtime jaunt or a longer more relaxing visit. It's free unless you would like to make a donation. Always has the interesting to wild & whacky!
Isa SierraMarch 14, 2017One of the greatest galleries in the world, without a doubt. The permanent collection is great. The temporary exhibitions get very crowded, and are sometimes hard to see.
Newton DavisSeptember 4, 2017Architecturally, it stands in great contrast to that of the Tate Modern in terms of architecture. Definitely worth the visit.
Brilliant temporary exhibitions (Hockney retrospective is/was outstanding) with beautiful pieces of art on constant display as well.
Olga TsybulskaAugust 14, 2014Download a Tate Britain app on your device. It's free and available for iOS and Android. This is an audio guide which helps to learn more about the history of Britain in paintings and sculpture. Enjoy
Akua Obeng-FrimpongJanuary 10, 2015Great service for members. Nice cafe with comfy seating. Great place to grab a cuppa before seeing the exhibition. Also love the beautiful art deco spiral stair case.
Joao MoraesJune 14, 2013Impressive the way the museum is organized, chronologically, showing not only the evolution of British art but also of the country itself. Therefore it is really important to visit the rooms in order.
Stefi DimitrovaNovember 7, 2014It is a nice place...a little bit crowded than Tate modern, which i prefer...but there are great expositions....u should try if you starving for British art.....
Caroline WalkerMay 9, 2017Went to see the David Hockney exhibition it was an excellent display of work spanning several decades from the 60's to 2014. The composition of the exhibition was well thought through.
Amazing artworks and exhibits. The art from different decades - particularly the 80s-90s were blowing away my mind
Anna EllegaardAugust 5, 2015The old great British artists, the YBA's, Tracey Emin's bed. It's a beautiful collection and a stunning museum combining old and new.
Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼February 13Free access, good art, design & illustration museum. Nice outdoor garden & seatings.
- Olga TsybulskaAugust 14, 2014Wonderful British art for last centuries. Shows culture and history of Great Britain in paintings and sculpture.
- Miwa Nagamitsu AhlstromApril 29, 2017The David Hockney exhibition as well as Queer British Art was great. The rainbow flag at the top of the building was a nice touch, too.
Guido OswaldApril 28, 2019Some Exhibitions cost extra but the main museum is free.There is a small restaurant in the lower floor if you get hungry or need a coffee.- Karen QureshiJune 21, 2012Nice place for a picnic outside the the Tate Britain - Eating Falafels with hot chilli sauce and limonade!
Otel.comOctober 11, 2011This Millbank gallery is home to both old and contemporary British art. Has a wide collection of works by J. M. W. Turner. Millbank SW1P 4RG. Open from 10am-6pm. Free (except for major exhibits).
T KOctober 23, 2015You can have a broad look at British and international art history. Turner Collection is excellent but Pre-Raphaelites, too! Don't forget to see "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose".
Christopher DoyleMarch 14, 2015Worth a visit, even if you're not an arty person. Take the boat trip up to the Tate Modern afterwards for some mind boggling modern art.
Fuyuhiko TakayaSeptember 18, 2017Costs for the regular exhibition is for free. Mobile network is a little bit weak inside the gallery.
OuicestmoiMay 6, 2015Don't miss the astonishing Turner exhibit. Incredibly amazing! And what a pretty building!!
Leiliane ValadaresApril 15, 2019It’s quiet and pleasant. Like to drink a coffee outside when the sun is out.- Bijan YoungFebruary 10, 2015Fabulous building and so much to see. Good restaurant downstairs for a lunch break. Never miss the Turner's whenever I'm here.
Jeremy Le VanSeptember 26, 2011Impressive English art + contemporary international art permanent collection, free "Late at Tate" events (1st Friday of each month, 6:00-10:00pm). Notice the bombing traces on the exterior walls
Jack HaynesJanuary 11, 2015After the renovations were complete just over a year ago, the Walk through British Art is outstanding. The new members room is a delight.
Paulo RementeriaSeptember 2, 2016A good collection very organized and well displayed. In an amazing atmosphere.
Josie CJanuary 11, 2015If you're not into modern art don't do the Turner Prize exhibition, my traditionally inclined friend really disliked it!
Jillian Payne JohnsonJune 21, 2013Thank goodness for the rehang, they really opened up this space. So many works on view. The exhibition displays are always well done here too.
Adeline LevescotJanuary 3, 2014There's a mobile audio guide/app in beta, covering a few salient works from each room. Bring your own headphones and use the gallery's free wifi.
Louis VuittonDecember 16, 2011Late Nights: Explore art after hours the first Friday of every month. With access to the exhibitions, performances, and talks there is no better way to visit the Tate without all the crowds.
Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012Tate Modern gets all the attention, but the original Tate Gallery has a more inclusive brief. It opens until 10pm every Friday and Late at Tate Britain takes place on the first Friday of each month. Read more
