Is National Gallery worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

Seven centuries of masterpieces (Van Gogh's Sunflowers, Turner, Caravaggio) for free, right on Trafalgar Square. Manageable in a focused hour or two. Headline rooms get busy and it can feel like a march; pick a wing rather than trying to see it all.
