The very sky behind me looks like a picture: we must be outside the National Gallery!
The National Gallery, founded in 1824 (so it's even older than my grandma, Elva), holds all sorts of artwork which the public can visit.
It's really easy to get to as well. It's on the edge of Trafalgar Square, so it's about 5-10 minutes away from Charing Cross Station. It's free to get in, although you can leave some coins in special collection boxes to help the gallery, if you like.
I'm afraid I could only take this photo of me standing outside, since taking photographs within the gallery itself isn't allowed.
If you like, you can take a sketchpad and pencil and sit down on the dark green sofas inside the gallery, and draw the pictures hanging on the walls.
There are also three shops inside, which sell art-themed stationery and books, and also sell prints of popular pictures, in case you want to take one home.
I'm just off to the big shop; I want to get some souvenirs!
See you soon,
Elf Dryadalis
