What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the museum (not hotel pickup) and move through galleries at a conversational pace. Rather than rushing a greatest-hits tick-list, expect to spend real time with 3–4 major works, discussing technique, artist intent, and cultural moment. Your guide fields questions freely—the beauty of private tours is responding to what genuinely puzzles or excites you. Modern art can feel opaque; this guide speaks plainly about abstraction, installation, and conceptual pieces without condescension.
Good to know
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to meet your guide. The gallery is fully wheelchair accessible with lifts and level floors. Prams and strollers welcome; service animals permitted. No food or drinks included—grab a coffee beforehand or visit the museum café during a break. Public transport links are excellent; Southwark station is nearest.
