The National Gallery can be easily viewed from Trafalgar Square. Photography is forbidden inside, but it contains such famous paintings as Van Eyck’s “The Arnolfini Portrait” and Caravaggio’s “The Supper at Emmaus.”

Laura, Jackie, Neha and Katherine take a break on the edge of the fountain in Trafalgar Square.
Jackie, Laura and Katherine relieve some of the museum stress by chasing pigeons.
Laura becomes particularly good at frightening away the poor pigeons of London.
The National Portrait Gallery stands near the northeast corner of Trafalgar Square. Photography is also forbidden here, but it displays over 1,000 portraits featuring British men and women who have affected history from the Middle Ages to the present day.
At the end of another long day at British museums, we arrive at the airport. Although things become a little stressful, the group makes the best of the situation.
