Whitechapel Gallery, London

Whitechapel Gallery: East End London's best art space

The Whitechapel Gallery has been regarded as one of London's best art galleries for years by people in the know, but it is since its £13 million expansion and renovation that it has finally been given the recognition it deserves. Founded in 1901, it has displayed some iconic works of art by contemporary artists and continues to do so today. And now, after taking over the Passmore Edwards Library next door, it has created extra exhibition space, while a new archive gallery, reading room and archive repository has also been set up. Past exhibits have included Picasso's Guernica in 1939, Jackson Pollock's first major show in Britain in 1958, all British premieres of Mark Rothko's works, and other artists including Frida Kahlo, Lucian Freud and lately Alice Neel. Art fans can head over to the White Cube Gallery in nearby Hoxton, while other East End attractions include Brick Lane and the bars and clubs of Shoreditch.
