No plans and the whole city in front of you. There are worse problems to have.
London on any given day has more going on than most cities manage in a month. The question is never really whether there’s something worth doing, it’s knowing where to look. This is our daily edit of what’s actually happening today, whether you’ve got two hours or the whole day, a budget or none at all, and whether you want to be in a gallery, on a rooftop, at a market or somewhere you’ve never been before.
Check back daily. It changes every day, because London does too.
