Tate Modern is a free-to-enter gallery of modern and contemporary art, showing paintings, sculptures and large-scale installations by artists such as Picasso, Kusama and Matisse. You can wander the Turbine Hall, visit the underground Tanks dedicated to live performance and video, or join a free guided tour running most days. Temporary exhibitions, including Frida Kahlo and Julio Le Parc shows, need separate tickets. It suits anyone interested in art, from casual visitors to families, with accessible facilities, borrowable wheelchairs and quiet rooms available. There's no on-site parking, though London Blackfriars station is just 0.3 miles away (BRITSTAYS:station), and with 778 bookable places to stay within 5 miles (BRITSTAYS:stays), it's easy to base a trip here in Southwark.
