National Portrait Gallery

The National Portrait Gallery is located in London and houses a collection or portraits of historically important and famous British people. It opened in 1856 and was the first portrait gallery in the world. The gallery moved to its current location at St Martin's Place, off Trafalgar Square, in 1896 where the building adjoins the National Gallery.

Take the London Underground to either Charing Cross or Leicester Square and the National Portrait gallery is a short walk from both stations.
