The National Gallery

The National Gallery, London houses one of the greatest collections of Western European painting in the world. These pictures belong to the public and entrance to see them is free. In April 1824 the House of Commons agreed to pay £57,000 for the picture collection of the banker John Julius Angerstein. The 38 pictures were intended to form the core of a new national collection, for the enjoyment and education of all. Public criticism of the inadequate accommodation for the growing national collection, led to the decision to construct a purpose-built gallery. A site in Trafalgar Square was chosen, as the cross-roads of London, where the collection would be accessible to the rich people travelling from West London in their carriages, and on foot to the poor of the East End. Opening hours, Daily 10am-6pm, Wednesday 10am-9pm, (Closing commences 5 mins before time stated).

Polish Institute & Sikorski Museum

Tel: 020 8992 6057

With the termination of hostilities in 1945 and the recognition by the Allies of the Soviet imposed Communist Government in Poland, it became obvious that the overwhelming majority of Polish ex-servicemen and civilian nationals would not choose to return to their Soviet dominated homeland. As a result, a large community of Poles remained in exile. One of the more pressing needs of this dispossessed and exiled society was the preservation of all that bore witness to their struggle: of the values and aspirations fought for, of the new and better Poland they had hoped to build once the German invader had been defeated. What this meant in practical terms was the preservation of historical records, documents, regimental standards, uniforms, insignia, notable works of art and literature and, last but not least, innumerable personal effects which had once belonged to statesmen, diplomats, academics, military leaders and ordinary men and women. It was for this purpose - to consolidate and conserve a precious heritage - that the premises at 20 Princes Gate were acquired.

The Royal Armouries

HM Tower of London, Tower Hill, London, EC3N 4AB
Tel: 020 7480 6358
Web: www.royalarmouries.org

There have always been arms and armour at the Tower. William the conqueror's castle, begun in 1066, must have contained a garrison of soldiers, and weapons are first documented in the reign of King John (1199—1216). Alongside the working arsenal, a museum began to take shape in the Tudor period. Our displays contain many of the examples of royal arms and armour in the Royal Armouries collection, including armours of Henry VIII, Charles I, Charles II and James II. They also reconstruct many of the historical displays of arms and armour for which the Tower is famous, including the Grand Storehouse which was destroyed by fire in 1841. The Royal Armouries Museum itself was designed from the inside out. The redisplay of the collections in a thematic structure and the identity, size and basic story lines of the new galleries were all created as part of Strategy 2000. The design for the new building took those spaces, together with the study collections, conservation workshops and library as the basis of its overall layout. The ceiling heights of the new building were designed to accommodate the longest staff weapons in the collections, displayed vertically, and the principal lift to move the largest object. In addition to the five galleries which house 5,000 objects in the permanent displays, the museum includes the Hall of Steel, a giant staircase whose walls are decorated with trophy displays composed of 2,500 objects reminiscent of the historical trophy displays erected by the Tower Armouries from the 17th century.

The Science Museum as an institution has been in existence for about a century and a half. It has its origins in the Great Exhibition of 1851. The history of the Science Museum over the last 150 years has been one of continual change. The exhibition galleries are never static for long, as they have to reflect and comment on the increasing pace of change in science, technology, industry and medicine. Even if this sometimes means the removal of some well-loved objects to store, we can be certain that some of their modern replacements will become cherished in turn. Whatever the future holds, the Science Museum will be in the forefront to illustrate, explain and interpret it for all our users, whoever and wherever they are.

The best view of the barrier is by boat - several of the Thames tours stop here and regular boat trips leave from Greenwich and Westminster Pier.
