6. The National Portrait Gallery
In Room 31 of the National Portrait Gallery you can see a bust of Virginia Woolf by Stephen Tomlin. While he was sculpting Virginia in 1931, her sister Vanessa painted her. ‘Nessa and Tommy pinn[ed] me there from 2 to 4 on six afternoons,’ Virginia wrote in her diary, ‘and I felt like a piece of whalebone bent.’
