On the first Thursday of every month galleries and museums in East London open their doors late for new exhibitions and your chance to see amazing art, culture and events after hours. There are over 100 galleries and museums open until 9pm on First Thursdays there will always be something free to do and exciting things to see.
At exhibition openings there is normally some free food and alcohol which I think can help you appreciate the art even more
