One of my favorite places in London, the National Gallery houses the largest collection of European paintings (from 1250) and photographs by various artists. We wandered in one weekend to see pictures of the Pet Shop Boys, and ended up seeing photographs of celebrities, and a series of paintings.Be it Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers, Raphael's Madonna of the Pinks, the simple portrait of a man, or modern day nudes, we walked around in awe of what we were seeing.

Make sure you visit the gallery store if you ever come here. In the store you'll find knick knacks, paintings, posters, fridge magnets, pencils, bookmarks, scales marking major events in the UK, books, and chocolates. So if you want souvenirs, that is where you will look. More so if your mother has a fascination for royal family!

Yeah! We were there for some time, and we didn't get to see everything. I plan to go again next week, to check out more paintings. Really beautiful!
