Things To Do in London

Tate Modern

Sumner Street, London SE1 9TG

Featured Review : Even those with little or no interest in art, modern or otherwise, should make the effort visit the Tate Modern near Borough Market. Opened in 2000, this soaring museum is an architectural as much as an artistic wonder. ...See Full Review

Quote: The architecture of the building is the most interesting part about this museum. The gift shop was good, and we had an expensive glass of wine in the 7th-floor restaurant. The view was worth that. We only stayed here for about an hour, but since... Read the full Tate Modern review
