The National Gallery
The site occupied by the National Gallery, between the north side of Trafalgar Square and Orange Street, has had a history of successive developments.
These have been largely prompted by the continuous growth of the collection and more recently by the growing demand for ancillary spaces due to changing visitor needs and expectations.
The Gallery is widely recognised as a building of immense importance, confirmed by its Grade 1 status, and the existing building is the cumulative effort of many generations of architects.
The principal significance of the interiors lies in their overall layout and architectural quality at the main gallery level.
