    Tate Modern has now exceeded all expectations for a Museum with the addition of this amazing viewing platform. It offers 360ᵒ views of London and it is the perfect way to finish a visit to one the many exhibition rooms. The best part is that it is free and you don't need to book so no pressure about getting there at a specific time; however, the sunset is just amazing from here so try to time it well and you will have one of the best views in London.

    Avoid cafe at 10th floor which serves bad coffee! However views from 10th floor are spectacular. This is one of the must see places in London and it's free to get there! 360 degree view from the floor is so good that you'll be able to see almost all skyscrapers and all popular places of London.

    Worked at an event here and was very impressed with the venue. Great views from the viewing platform obviously. What really impressed me thigh was the standard of food from the catering team. Not sure if this was in house or brought in, but it was great. Friendly and efficient venue staff, and great, clean facilities.

    Now open again with great views of the city on two sides, pleasant atmosphere and fine coffee. Our cappuccinos were excellent, medium sized, and reasonably priced. Lovely place to relax and enjoy a break from the gallery!

    Unreal exhibition, feel so lucky to have caught the last day of the Yayoi Kusama exhibit

    Spectacular views of London.

  • 5/5 Emma Jane M. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful views across the city.

  • 1/5 David W. 4 years ago on Google
    Perhaps I'm just not cultured enough to appreciate what this place represents! Modern art is clearly not for me

  • 5/5 Vanessa Q. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice views of London, friendly staff, easy to navigate to.

  • 5/5 shukadev K. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the view from the terrace!

  • 4/5 MiaLuiseC 4 years ago on Google
    I loved going there,there was art on every floor but if you want to take photography at the top the border to stop people falling is blocking the way.

  • 5/5 Negar J. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning architecture and nice museum. Unfortunately the observation deck was closed due to a construction

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 7 years ago on Google
    Excellent views over London particularly straight across the Thames towards St.Pauls Cathedral and also in the direction of The Shard. Totally free when I went up..there was no need to book ahead, simply turned up and took the lift up. At busy periods there were queues for the lifts but well worth it for the views.

  • 5/5 Rayta N. 4 years ago on Google
    Best free view to the City from Southbank, also fascinating view straight into the living rooms of luxury flats directly behind the Gallery

  • 5/5 Giuseppe R. 1 year ago on Google
    Modern, minimalist, efficient, intimidating. This building is a piece of art itself. Grey is the predominant colour due to the concrete used to create this art container.

  • 3/5 Matt W. 5 months ago on Google
    One of my favourite free places to go in London. Great atmosphere. Lots to see and do. Lovely coffee shops and bars. Highly recommended for a visit if you in London.

  • 3/5 Stella Esplosiva (Laura P. 7 months ago on Google
    All the museums in London are absolutely worth visiting. I liked this museum much less than the others (for example, I went to the science museum for two whole days), but I still recommend a visit. The building is large and still beautiful.

  • 4/5 Cruise C. 5 months ago on Google
    I liked it. I always like visiting this building and it's cafes, restaurants and observation decks. Spectacular. Modern art - not so much in my taste, but they do have special exhibits which occasionally I find interesting. The main displays are free though and a great way to spend an afternoon out. Especially great for kids in a way as there are plenty of places they can run around and be kids, which doesn't happen at many museums. Very handicap accessible and friendly, all areas are handicap accessible. Very friendly staff. I rated it 4 stars primarily because of the modern art, but if you like that type of thing then definitely 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended.

    Fantastic museum with a stunning view all for free!

    Went here with a friend of mine and it was a great time, lovely area, surrounding shops were nice and cosy and the atmosphere was really nice to enjoy with a friend.

    The view is amazing but the staff is rude. Bad manners and moody faces. Especially the thin young lady at the bar who is the first person you see when you order

  • 5/5 missgm80 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing view. I had a red berries tea. I spend there about 1h. The 10th level allows you to have a stunning view even in a grey day

  • 5/5 Logis 4 years ago on Google
    nice view point. but the Neo Bankside residents are likely to hate this observatory.

  • 4/5 Narter Y. 3 years ago on Google
    A beatiful museum with incredible exhibitions. Entrance is free of charge; tickets should be bought for exhibitions. Huge dimensions and not crowded. Face masks are compulsory. Toilets are free of charge and very clean. You need at least one hour to visit an exhibition.

  • 5/5 Sylwester P. 3 years ago on Google
    Best view of London, the view might be restricted towards the neighbourhood buildings in highly populated city, but the river side is gorgeous view overlooking the St Paul's Cathedral with the Shard on the right hand side which is currently the highest building at London.

  • 5/5 Aga N. 3 years ago on Google
    Tate Modern is one of the best galleries in the world. Make sure you visit this winter and see Zanele Muholi’s photography. Important topics.

  • 4/5 Nick C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great exhibitions. Shame it is closing again tomorrow ☹

  • 5/5 Alex 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 ZeBtRoL M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Tate Modern is really amazing. How many works of art can be seen here. Some things are of course a bit boring, or you don't know why or why, but overall a very nice gallery. (Original) Das Tate Modern ist echt der Wahnsinn. Wie viel Kunstwerke es hier zusehen gibt. Einige Sachen sind natürlich auch etwas langweilig, oder man weis nicht wieso oder warum, aber insgesamt eine sehr schöne Gallery.

    Great contemporary works

  • 5/5 Leylane B. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible view of St Paul's cathedral, millennium bridge and the shard. You should get the lift to the 10th floor. On the top, there's a nice café and a place to sit down. It can be very windy and maybe crowded. However, the view is spectacular and you can take some amazing pictures.

    Nice

  • 3/5 BitLion L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is one of the must-sees in London, but it is a bit chaotic as they have it organized. On the other hand, I recommend you to see the expos for the dates of the trip in advance and buy tickets to them in advance, because they get agitated and once there you cannot see them. There is always open spouse and free, but there are also temporary expos for which you have to pay. Recommended site. (Original) Es uno de los imperdibles de Londres, pero es un poco caotico como lo tienen organizado. Por otra parte, os recomiendo ver con antelación las expos para las fechas del viaje y comprar entradas a las mismas con tiempo, porque se agitan y una vez alli no puedes verlas. Hay espo abierta siempre y gratis, pero también hay expos temporales para las que hay que pagar. Sitio recomendable.

  • 5/5 Daniel T. 4 years ago on Google
    I didn't know this place existed. A hidden gem. Great to take photographs from.

  • 5/5 Patrick C. 4 years ago on Google
    Considering that it's free to access these views....the experience couldn't be better. The level you view from reveals the north bank architecture in a unique manner and the photography opportunities are excellent.

  • 5/5 Barna S. 4 years ago on Google
    A fabtastic 360 degree view of London and you can also enjoy a good coffee.

  • 5/5 Oli B. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved my trip to the tate. Great way to spend a rainy day, some brilliant art to see. Definitely something for everyone.
