Closest Hotels to Tate Britain:
Tate Britain, which was known as the Tate Gallery until Tate Modern was opened in 2000, houses the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day, the largest and most comprehensive collection of British art in the world. Situated on the banks of the River Thames, it houses the art collection of the sugar tycoon Sir Henry Tate and first opened to the public in 1897. Unusually, works from different periods are arranged together according to theme to provide more thought-provoking displays and to enable visitors to see well-known paintings in a new light. The collection includes works by Blake, Constable, Gainsborough, Hogarth, Rosetti and Hockney. The Clore Gallery, opened in 1987, houses a magnificent collection of paintings by British Romantic landscape artist JMW Turner. Tate Britain also hosts special events such as themed talks, artists’ talks, lectures and films.
