Walk 3 minutes to Loughborough Junction train station, take a 9 minute scenic train journey into the only station to straddle the River Thames.
From there you have great views up and down the river, and it's only a few minutes walk to the Tate Modern, recently extended with a tall viewing platform on The Switch House
"Behold awe-inspiring 360ᵒ views of the London skyline, from high above the River Thames".
Mostly free entry, with only a few of the many exhibitions paid entry.
We love to visit the Tate regularly. A bus, train, boat ride away is the Tate Britain, further along the river, also well worth a visit.
