<p>The security system at one of London's leading museums is under the scanner after a homeless Indian-origin man fell asleep within its premises.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Raj Patel walked in to the Tate Britain in Pimlico, central London, to use the toilet but fell asleep in the cubicle shortly before the building was shut. The 32-year-old awoke two hours later to find himself alone, with the gallery locked up and in darkness.<br /><br />"I'm not a great fan of art but there's a loo near the door so I went in. I'm homeless and I suppose the day just caught up with me, so I dropped off," he told the 'Evening Standard'.<br /><br />"I remember hearing someone open the door and shouting 'security', but I was half-asleep and they didn't check the cubicle. When I woke up the entire place was in darkness," he added.<br /><br />An exhibition of William Turner's late paintings is currently on display at the Tate.<br />The show brings together "spectacular works from the UK and abroad", according to the gallery's website.<br /><br />"It was just a bit eerie, being there all alone. I wandered around for 10 minutes looking for a security guard to let me out. When I found one, they just let me go — they didn't ask for ID or even my name. I was shocked because I was ready to explain how I had come to be locked in there," Patel added.<br /><br />A Tate Britain spokesperson said: "A man locked himself in a toilet cubicle before the museum closed on Wednesday. He was located in the cloakroom area and escorted from the building at 6.50 pm. He did not enter any galleries.<br /><br />"We have appropriate security measures in place. The man was not near the galleries and no art was put at risk. But we will review this incident."</p>
