What’s On In London

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 is finally springing and the weather is (hopefully) on the turn, and the arrival of warmer weather isn’t the only thing to celebrate in March. You’ve got lots of opportunities to honour the women in your life with Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day both happening this month. You’ve got some good eating and drinking on the cards too with British Pie Week, Pancake Day and St Patrick’s Day (get ready for all things Guinness). Bring it on.

There are some big name stars treading the boards this month, including Ewan McGregor, John Lithgow, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Elizabeth Debicki and Cate Blanchett, so there’s plenty for theatre fans to indulge in. With Easter taking place in April this year, there’ll be more indulgence on the cards as the chocolate and egg-themed specials come your way. And talking of food, there’s Stop Food Waste Day this month, so there’s even more reason to visit some of the city’s restaurants that are turning food trash into treasure.
