Tate Modern from the Millennium Bridge
This former power station on the south bank of the River Thames is now the home to a vast array of modern art. It’s worth visiting just to see how the old building has been converted, but if you like your art, there’s plenty to challenge your thoughts inside too. Best of all, it’s free. The restaurant on the top floor is worth visiting too. Nearest tube: Southwark. This is an extract from our free London City Guide.
