"Step Up in Time Tucked away inside the large space of Somerset House, this small gallery leaves a large impression. It houses the collection of the Courtald Institute of Art, astunning set of early 20th-century art with a focus on French Impressionist and Post-impressionist works from the likes of Van Gogh, Cezannes, Degas, Seurat, and Picasso. You'll likely see pieces you've never seen before and quickly be enchanted by the lovely, modest space in which they hang. It's also quiet and rarely overwhelmed with tourists, offering a nice respite away from the hustle and bustle of the Strand shops and theaters of the West End just down the road."
