National Gallery

Seven centuries of European painting on Trafalgar Square, free to walk into whenever you like.

Van Eyck, Leonardo, Turner, Van Gogh and Caravaggio in one building, and no ticket required for the permanent collection. Because entry is free, it rewards short repeated visits far more than one exhausting marathon.
