Not sure what to do in London?

London's month-long river festival returns with a programme of exhibitions, installations, walks, performances and river activities at venues along the Thames. Events range from free drop-ins to ticketed sessions, so it is worth browsing the What's On listings to find what suits your dates and area.

Buildings, homes and workplaces across all 33 London boroughs open to the public, mixing free drop-ins with bookable tours of places usually closed.

The 24th edition spreads landmark installations, design districts and talks across the city, with the V&A and neighbourhood studios as the main hubs.

A free weekend of South East Asian street food, performances, artisan stalls and family activities at Battersea Power Station, with ticketed films and workshops alongside.
