National Portrait Gallery Tours and Activities

London is full of great museums and galleries for free. The National Portrait Gallery behind Trafalgar Square is full of beautiful corridors and staircases (and of course great art). Head up to the restaurant on the third floor for great views over the rooftops of London. #lifeatexpedia #mycity

Sometimes we need to find some quite place to stay with yourself.
This place is so cool, and well worth a visit. The entire museum is portrait paintings, some photos but mostly English "royalty". I had to take the photo of the great composer G. F. Handel, as The Messiah is among my favorite classical works.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (698 reviews)
Overall hotel was good. Laundry facilities available and convenient location. However aircon is central aircon and temperature cannot be adjusted to our liking. TV in the bedroom was also not working at all. House keeping was not provided everyday and only available on the 4th day.
