  This gallery offers a wide range of historically significant portraits from a wide range of historical periods. I came here for exam revision and was not disappointed. The wheelchair access does seem to be lacking and there are restrictions on flash photography to preserve the paintings. The toilet facilities are what lets this place down- they are perfectly clean and are maintained at regular intervals, but there are only three cubicles in the male washroom ( I assume there are more in the female one but I didn't have anyone on hand to check for me). As a result of this, there can be lengthy queues which may cause some discomfort. The café/restaurant is of premium quality and is advertised as a place to eat even for people who aren't visiting the gallery, so you won't need to search for another place to eat if you're hungry.

  An excellent museum to visit. Each portrait sends you back in time. I really like the commentary behind each of these portraits. There is a mixture of both modern and old art here. Be sure to visit the National Portrait Gallery. Also, as with all public museums in London, it is free.

  My favourite museum in London! They have a fabulous permanent collection and their special exhibitions are always outstanding. Centrally located in Trafalgar Square, it is very easy to find. The permanent exhibitions are free, and it would be a good idea to book in advance for the temporary ones as it can get very busy. There are lockers and a cloakroom if you have things with you that you don't want to carry around, plus a gift shop, bookshop & restaurant. The staff are knowledgeable & friendly and often there are great audio guides, podcasts or leaflets to tell you more about the exhibits. Can't recommend this place enough!

  Really nice gallery especially if you like history as you can see portraits of some of the people you've read about. The fact that it's free makes it even better. As an actor, if also recommend it as a place to go to research a character, although saying that, most of the eighteenth and nineteenth century portraits just look like Alec Guinness... As do the portraits of the men The cafe is also good

  Our first visit. Impressive display of those people who have contributed to our society over a long period of time. Interesting and not always wonderful paintings. We were impressed by the information regarding the sitters in the portraits and the additional technical equipment to lock one into the time-limit of events in which those people played their part. We'll be back.
