Tate Britain, home of the national collection of British art, has a characteristically strong autumn line-up. The gallery's programme spans five centuries of British creativity.
For Impressionist lovers, the season is a reminder of London's riches. Renoir's Bal du moulin de la Galette, painted in 1876, captures a Parisian dance hall in full swing and remains one of the most beloved works of the period.
Booking ahead is advisable for the biggest shows, where timed tickets and weekend slots sell out. Many galleries offer free entry to their permanent collections, with charges only for special exhibitions.
