LatinoLife in the Park
Featuring five stages with the hottest new talent from the Latin urban music scene and a huge range of Latin street food and drinks, this is the UK’s largest Latin music festival. We’re very happy to see Wing Fest is back; over 40 restaurants, street food traders and BBQ experts will be seriously winging it (sorry!). All you could want from a laid-back summer festival, and you don’t even need a tent. Ally Pally’s one-day festival is back for 2024 with their usual mix of live music, DJs and comedy. Wonderful urban village fete including a dog show, spaghetti-eating contest, a tug-of-war between the Soho police and fire brigade, a human fruit machine and the famous Soho Waiters’ Race. Don’t miss this one. Enjoy a vibrant mix of music, film, theatre and pop-up events all summer long at the Scoop, or head to a pop-up bar for street food and drinks with a view. It must be summer; it’s the return of the Summer Series, eleven nights of gigs in the iconic courtyard of Somerset House. Foraging is a peak Cheapo activity: bang on trend, budget-friendly and a decidedly urban version of cool survival skills. Step back in time with a history walking tour. Meet your rock heroes on the streets of the capital. There's so much more to London Bridge than The Shard. Visit cosy pubs and meet a real-life Bond villain on the salubrious streets of north London. From parades to art fairs to light festivals—all designed to brighten up your January and keep you entertained! Don't pay full-price for theatre and cinema tickets! Beat inflation with a cheap day at the power station. Get your south east London culture fix, for free.
