Here in Portland, Maine, we have a monthly event known as First Friday. Taking place on the first Friday of every month, the art galleries and museums in town open up their doors and for no cost, hordes of art fans come out to enjoy the works on display. It’s a popular event, so needless to say I was excited when I heard about First Thursday in London!
On the first Thursday of every month the galleries and museums of East London do the same, and open their doors up to the public. They generally stay open till 9pm, and have special events featured around culture and art. Over 100 galleries and museums participate in this event, and it’s become one of the most popular events in London! You can bet that the restaurants and bars in East London are sure to be filled with like minded people as well. For more information check out http://www.firstthursdays.co.uk/
Of course don’t forget, if you need to get around with a car rental in London, Auto Europe is the only place you need to look.
