Time Out's guide to First Thursdays

With so many galleries located in east London, it can be hard to make sense of them all. That's where First Thursdays comes in. Organised by Whitechapel Gallery in partnership with Time Out, First Thursdays takes place on the first Thursday of every month (funnily enough), and sees over 100 galleries and museums stay open til 9pm.

There are workshops to take part in, talks to hear and even the odd behind-the-scenes session at artists' studios. If you fancy more of a guided experience, get on board the hugely popular Art Bus tour as it takes you to three of the month's top exhibitions. We can’t think of a better way to spend an east London evening.
