Iconic building. Take the tube to St Pauls on the Central line and walk across the Millennium bridge to get there. Fantastic views. Brilliant gallery and lots of the rooms are free entry. Have a look at what special exhibitions they have - it's best to book tickets in advance for these or you will usually have to queue.
