Two days. The whole city. We’ve done the work so you don’t have to spend Saturday morning down a rabbit hole of listings sites that were last updated in March.
Whatever kind of weekend you’re after, London usually has a version of it: a free festival on a common somewhere, a new opening worth making the trip for, a film under the stars, a market you’ve been meaning to get to, or something completely unexpected that you’ll be talking about on Monday. This is our edit of what’s actually worth your time right now, picked by people who live here and have opinions about it.
