The original Tate gallery focuses exclusively on British art from 1500 to the present day, with the world's greatest collection of Turner works in the Clore Gallery. It's far less crowded than Tate Modern and offers a more contemplative, serious experience. The annual Turner Prize exhibition is worth timing a visit around.
