On my first visit to the Tate Modern’s new extension I wasn’t too taken by the works of art but the view from the viewing gallery on the top floor makes it well worth visiting.

Patti Smith’s Just Kids is an enjoyable portrait of two struggling artists. It left me understanding a little more about what drives an artist.
