"See the Many Faces of Britain Nestled in the corner next to the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, the National Portrait Gallery isn’t as overwhelmingas its larger sibling.It’s an absolute beaut of a gallery, with a permanent collection (free to view) of portraits of everyone you’ve ever heard of, from Elizabeth I and Winston Churchill to the Duchess of Cambridgeand Amy Winehouse, while its programme of exhibitions never ceases to fascinate. Portrait Restaurant and Bar has a breathtaking view over Trafalgar Square and Whitehall, taking in Nelson’s column, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye. If you’re around between June and September don’t miss the famous BP Portrait Award, which displays the best contemporary portraiture in Britain today."
