We've found this place, hidden in the big city, and we felt we've found a treasure. We didn't enter the museum because it was closed. Don't miss the opportunity of having a break from the noisy streets and sit on the floor and admire the dancing waters at floor level. You can also have a tea or coffee at the... More

Took the free guided tour which was fantastic! Our tour guide had vast knowledge about Somerset House and the tour allowed access to parts of the house that you wouldn't normally be able to get to. The tour takes about an hour and is definitely worth doing, especially for freww!

Pleasant cafe and in summer pleasant to sit outside overlooking the Thames - you can get to The south Bank easily from here.

Small but very nice exhibition, till end of May, I think Price not high. Not crowded Picasso in his first exhibition in Paris, which was quite successful period before blue period and before cubism This location needs to be looked at, every so often, as it has quite interesting exhibitions over and above the permanent exhibits which are also worth...
