Right now I live quite close to the Tate Modern. It’s not my favorite museum because I’m not a huge fan of modern art, but I love the building. The museum is housed inside the former Bankside Power Station and it’s a fabulous space to explore. Not only that, but it offers spectacular views of St. Paul’s Cathedral and a portion of the London skyline. [They could open a roof terrace and make me really happy -- that'd offer amazing views of the whole city.]
Like many of the major museums here, it’s free! Admission to churches costs an arm and a leg, but museums are free. Go figure. This is the exact opposite of Paris, where churches are free and museums charge admission. I used to love hanging out in churches in Paris and it’s been really tough to give that up. And you know, I’ve been thinking. The churches in Paris are Catholic and the churches in London are Anglican. Hmmmm. Anglican = greed?
