National Portrait Gallery

London is full of great museums and galleries for free. The National Portrait Gallery behind Trafalgar Square is full of beautiful corridors and staircases (and of course great art). Head up to the restaurant on the third floor for great views over the rooftops of London. #lifeatexpedia #mycity
Sometimes we need to find some quite place to stay with yourself.
This place is so cool, and well worth a visit. The entire museum is portrait paintings, some photos but mostly English "royalty". I had to take the photo of the great composer G. F. Handel, as The Messiah is among my favorite classical works.

Our hosts on arrival were so friendly and personally showed us to the room. The studio was incredible - larger than expected with a lovely shower room and a coffee machine! Would not hesitate to stay again next time we are visiting Alexandra palace.
