Art exhibitions in London: what is on right now

Every exhibition worth the trip that is open in London today, soonest closing first, with the free ones marked. We list the late openings separately because a gallery at eight on a Friday is a different place from the same gallery at two on a Saturday. Checked and rebuilt every month.
