Tate Modern is now one of London’s most visited attraction. Built within the old Bankside Power Station, it sits on the banks of the River Thames and is only a short walk to St Paul’s Cathedral over the Millennium Bridge.

ate Modern is dominated by the turbine hall – its grand scale is worth capturing especially in the summer when the sun casts great shadows along the length of the hall and silhouettes the visitors as they pass through the doors.

Fine views are also available from the balconies over the Thames and the Millennium Bridge and up to St Pauls.
