@LeannevsCrohns Don't worry, the entrance is very close to Henry VIII gate - you don't have to walk down the Long Walk at all. Have a look on our website there's lots of info including accessibility details in case that's useful. rct.uk/visit/windsor-…

Has anyone been to #WindsorCastle recently? I am staying near Henry VIII gateway, do we have to do the looooooong walk around to get in? A bit worried I might be broken by the walk before we even get to the castle 🙈 @RCT

@LDN_Museum Nowhere close to your giant, but this image of The King in our current exhibition at The King's Gallery, London, is a pretty large 1560mm (h) by 1220mm (w). © Nadav Kander

Measuring at (h) 2,125mm by (w) 1,450mm, this photograph of Battersea Power Station is the largest in our collection 😲 We're wondering who has one bigger than us 🤔 cultural institutions... over to you!
