Tate Britain’s Excellent Year

Tate Britain had the “highest rise in visitor numbers among the country’s leading tourist attractions. The total number of visitors that passed through the Millbank gallery was 1,733,120 – up 58 per cent in 12 months. By contrast, almost all other leading attractions in London slumped after the 7 July bombings. The National Gallery had 15 per cent fewer visitors, the London Eye was down 12 per cent and the Tower of London by 9 per cent.”
