The Visit Behind the Destination
The National Portrait Gallery is at St Martin's Place, WC2H 0HE. Its main visitor entrance is at Ross Place, while groups and the Heinz Archive and Library use separately identified entrances.
Choose the Correct Arrival and Return
Match an individual gallery visit, group booking or archive appointment to the correct door before requesting a cab. Do not silently substitute the neighbouring National Gallery: the two institutions have different collections and visitor arrival instructions.
Turning the Visit Into a Taxi Enquiry
For a National Portrait Gallery taxi or minicab enquiry, keep the attraction booking and the road journey together: give the date, party size and any entrance instructions supplied by the venue. An admission slot is the time you need to reach the attraction, so discuss the proposed departure with the operator after allowing for the final walk and entry procedure.
For the return cab, use a time when everyone expects to be outside and ready rather than the moment the last activity ends. Explain luggage, pushchairs or mobility requirements before asking the operator to confirm a vehicle and meeting point.
