Millbank to Leicester Square

Back in 2019, on a quest to have days out like I used to, I took a train to London to visit Tate Britain and the Van Gogh Exhibition.

I took a tube from Euston to Pimlico and made my way to Millbank for some river views.

On the opposite side of the road, stands Tate Britain which has shown its art collections to the public since 1897!

Outside the gallery, there are statues from Greek legends, like the ‘Rescue of Andromeda‘ and ‘The Death of Dirce.’

More on the actual Van Gogh exhibition in a future post, but for now, let’s just skip around the back of the gallery to find this statue of Sir John Everett Millais – a wellknown and successful Victorian painter.

I leave Millbank and walk along the streets until I reach Dean’s Yard and Westminster Abbey.

And find equally impressive buildings as I wander some more.

I reach St James Park – a welcome and beautiful green space.

I turn right towards Admiralty Arch.

And across Trafalgar Square.

Through the streets some more…

Until I pass the London Coliseum – a theatre on St Martin’s Lane.

I arrived at Leicester Square for food and drinks before heading back to Northampton. What a fabulous day out!
