A DISGRUNTLED visitor has labelled the National Gallery ‘racist’ and ‘absolutely shocking’ because it ‘only has paintings’.

The tourist is one of thousands of Tripadvisor reviewers putting the boot into the capital’s top ten most visited attractions.

Moans range from the price of scones to absent Santas, but at least the National Gallery critic had some sound advice to pass on.

‘Don’t go if you don’t like paintings,’ wrote the reviewer, who goes by the name thB7263HT. ‘It’s racist to those who don’t like paintings.’

And Ketlev, from Telford, said they were ‘giving up’ on the gallery because of people taking selfies.

Positive reviews far outweighed negative comments for attractions including the Tower of London, the Victoria and Albert museum and Hyde Park. But the moaners didn’t hold back. ‘I can’t be the only person who feels £4.15 for one scone is a complete rip off,’ wrote Janet from Surrey after popping into the V&A. ‘I won’t be returning.’

Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park left Sean S from Reading cold. He wrote: ‘The final straw was queuing to see Santa, and him buggering off home without an explanation leaving only us left in the queue.’

Sheezusx, from Stockton-on-Tees, dismissed the 265-year-old British Museum as ‘literally just a museum full of stones, and old pots and old books’. The Churchill War Rooms came under fire, too. Mitch Dytham from Manchester said: ‘Book in advance to secure your place at the back of the queue!’ Bryan Edwin from Milton Keynes wasn’t impressed with Tower Bridge, the tenth most popular attraction in London according to Tripadvisor.

He wrote: ‘When it opens while you’re queuing to get across the romance fades. There, I said it.’

And our MPs didn’t get Londoner Michael M’s vote. He called the Houses of Parliament ‘a tiny place full of self important people that really is not worth the visit’.
