Great art, shiny floors and gift shop tat: London's National Gallery in photos

In photos: A short walk around London's fabulous National Gallery, September 2017

Trafalgar Square is virtually on the gallery’s doorstep. The animated scene of people all heading off in different directions reminds me of Lowry’s paintings.
