Amazing art collection within an old but accessible building

The Courtauld gallery is a hidden treasure situated at the front entrance to Somerset House on The Strand. The building is beautiful and old and I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible it was to a wheelchair user. I am not a great art lover but the collection is large and varied with paintings from 15th to 20th Century by many of the great masters - see website. It costs only £8.50 (including carer) for the day, has a small cafe serving a limited but reasonably priced menu, a shop (which I did not visit) and an accessible toilet. There is one blue badge parking bay at Somerset house which can be booked in advance (see website). All the staff at the entrance, security and cafe were welcoming and very helpful.
