Tate London in the 30's...and now.

Yeah, sure, some? There's an old monastery/ceramic factory down the road from where i'm living (not LDN) which is now an art museum, but it's a wicked place to explore, all these different bits where you can go n imagine all the many things it's been used for. Can't think of any factories in Cardiff where I used to live that were aesthetically pleasing as such though, this might be a one off!

Well Tate Modern wasn't always an art gallery

I don't know how many buildings they had and whether it was a complex, but here's a view on this fantastic website, although it's blocked by houses

That's it today, right?

If it's the building I'm thinking of it's on one of the side streets off Albert Embankment. I went there the summer before last and was really curious to know what this beautiful building was.

Yes it is. Lovely front on the building. Wouldn't mind seeing inside

Very similar building in the next street or two from Old Paradise Street, (Lambeth High Street?) close to Lambeth Bridge associated with Doulton
