Wondering what’s on in London? Don’t sweat it, there’s lots to keep you busy. There are always so many things to do in the Big Smoke, so we’re here to make your life a little easier by bringing you only the very best. Our filters let you see the most interesting, fun and/or unusual things to do in London today, this week, or even the whole month, so you can see what’s on at the times that are important to you.
Spring has well and truly spring by May and a good job too because this month marks the start of festival season, with the likes of GALA, Field Day and Cross the Tracks all pitching up in the capital. With Doughnut Week, Sandwich Week, and the London Coffee Festival all happening this month, plus plenty of new restaurant openings on the way, there’s a lotta good eating and drinking to be had too. Best of all, we get two bank holidays this month, so you’ve got even more free time to enjoy all these goodies.
With Pride celebrations taking over town, June might just be the most colourful month of the year, and with festival season also kicking into high gear this month, you should expect to be seeing a lot of glitter around. There’s no better time to get the bevs in, with World Gin Day, Beer Day Britain, Martini Day and English Wine Week all falling this month – why not get outside on a terrace or on a rooftop bar and enjoy a drink in the sunshine? Or you could head to the park and DIY your own spread during Picnic Week instead.
