Is Tate Britain worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Tate Britain works.

While crowds pile into Tate Modern, this is where you can actually stand alone in front of a Turner or a Hockney. The honest catch: it's a quieter, more traditional hang — if you wanted edgy contemporary spectacle, you're at the wrong Tate.
