Guildhall Art Gallery - Fabulous Outside and inside - and free!

This is a remarkable building with exciting art and sculpture. Outside, to the right of the door, is a bust of William Shakespeare. Inside to the left, is a bust of King Charles III. Famous paintings are all around. Downstairs are the remains of  old London - a Roman amphitheatre, under a glass floor. Down in the basement is a magnificent Guildhall, full of statues, architecture, inscriptions and paintings and other things to look at.
Definitely worth a visit. And a return visit. Admission is free. A great place to take your foreign visitors and large families, if you are the one who is paying!

Nearest underground station, Bank.
Their online shop includes a bookworm brooch,  mug, travel mug, tea towel, pencil case, bag, fridge magnet and books.
