The sun’s out and summer is officially on the horizon!
London hosts a huge variety of things to keep you entertained and its even better when it’s warm out. This weekend is set to be lovely and there are so many things taking place that I’m excited about so I figured I’d share.
I’ve lived in London most of my life but whenever I’ve lived in other cities I was always drawn back to London for events, fairs and shows here.
One of the stand out events for this coming weekend that have caught my eye was the new Queer Britain museum in the heart of London in Kings Cross. Its been in the works for four years and has been curated by an amazing team to showcase the rich LGBTQ+ history. Queer history is so important to learn about especially living in such a diverse city. This exhibit is free to the public but they welcome donations so if you’re in town would be a great addition to a London trip.
This week London is also hosting the Prince of Peckhams birthday. Immerse yourself and your friends/family in urban culture, food and music. Taking place at the Prince of Peckham pub, this week long 5th birthday includes chicken wing giveaways, a big fat queer quiz, a comedy night and children friendly bingo game hosted by a drag troupe. Depending on what day you decide to go there is something for everyone!
If you’re more into fitness than a trip to the pub the UK’s largest outdoor fitness festival is also running this weekend for 3 days. Timeout says “a three-day programme of activities that’ll help you work up a nice sweat. As usual there’ll be plenty of free fitness classes taking place on the Marshes, plus a free-entry 5k race for those who have made smashing Couch to 5k their new year’s resolution. It all leads up to the Hackney Half on the Sunday, with the 21km route winding its way around the borough through crowds of cheering spectators.”
So take yourself and your family down to Hackney marshes this weekend if this sounds like your cup of tea.
Whatever takes your interest London always has something to offer. There are many shows running all the time for avid theatre goers and the club and restaurants are top tier when you know where to look.
