Fun Things To Do In London This Summer That Are Basically Free"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>London is filled with things to do in the summer&#8230; but they can also be expensive af. Fortunately, there&#8217;s still a ton of free events over the next few months &#8211; all you need to do is pay for the travel! Read on for 20 fun things to do in London this summer!<\/p>\n<h2>1. West End Live<\/h2>\n<p>Love musicals? Then head to Trafalgar Square on the 24-25 June and catch the shows you&#8217;ve always wanted to see, including &#8216;Mama Mia&#8217;, &#8216;Wicked&#8217;, and &#8216;School of Rock&#8217;. All for free &#8211; and how often does that happen?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Dulwich Picture Gallery Lates<\/h2>\n<p>Spend a Friday night at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, where they&#8217;re running various events including live music, films and workshops. It runs until the end of July, and admission is completely free! All you need to do is reserve a space <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/o\/dulwich-picture-gallery-10950050531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. Each event finishes at 10, leaving you with plenty of time to still go out and enjoy the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. London Bridge Summer City Festival<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s London&#8217;s biggest free festival, and it&#8217;s running until the end of August, so there&#8217;s no excuse not to go! Check out what&#8217;s going on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonbridgecity.co.uk\/events\/2017\/june\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; I recommend giving Massaoke Fridays a go, but if that&#8217;s not your thing, they have so much more, including live music, dancing and comedy.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Festival of Love<\/h2>\n<p>Head to the Southbank Centre and find out what&#8217;s going on in their annual Festival of Love, including gigs by international DJs, a food market, and their very own beach. Find out what&#8217;s going on at the Southbank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southbankcentre.co.uk\/whats-on?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Covent Garden Street Performers<\/h2>\n<p>Covent Garden has a rich history of street performance, going as far back as the 1660&#8217;s. Find everything from musicians to dancers to escapologists, and be wowed.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/5CI9UGRlsO\/?tagged=coventgardenstreetperformers<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>6. Notting Hill Carnival<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of London&#8217;s biggest events, and definitely one you should see at least once. Spend the weekend dancing to fantastic music and making memories you&#8217;ll never want to forget.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>7. Find an Outdoor Gym<\/h2>\n<p>Bored of running the same old route? Mix up your workout on the rare sunny days and find your nearest outdoor gym <a href=\"http:\/\/www.muddyplimsolls.com\/outdoor-fitness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. Each of them have been tested and it&#8217;s completely free to use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>8. Richmond Park<\/h2>\n<p>Richmond Park is beautiful, and probably one of the few places in London where you&#8217;d be able to eat your lunch surrounded by herds of deer. It&#8217;s completely free, but if a packed lunch isn&#8217;t for you, then there is a caf\u00e9 on-site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>9. Skate through the streets of London<\/h2>\n<p>Got a pair of roller blades? Then head down to the London Friday Night Skate &#8211; &#8220;weekly marshalled skates through the streets of London&#8221; and, most importantly, completely free. It always kicks off from the Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner, but the actual routes are always changing. More of &nbsp;a beginner? No problem &#8211; the Sunday Stroll at 2pm is much more relaxed, and starts on Serpentine Road in Hyde Park. Look <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lfns.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>10. Angel Comedy Club @ The Camden Head<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a cheap and fun night out, go to the Camden Head for their free comedy nights &#8211; all you pay for is your drink! Check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelcomedy.co.uk\/camden-head\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> for what&#8217;s going on each week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>11. Pop Brixton<\/h2>\n<p>Created as a project to help independent businesses thrive, Pop Brixton also offers a series of free events, including Free Music Fridays, and weekly yoga and tai chi classes. Find out what&#8217;s going on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popbrixton.org\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>12. Sky Garden<\/h2>\n<p>Spend some time with a spectacular view of London in the Sky Garden, surrounded by beautiful plants, handpicked to maximise the beauty. You do need to book tickets in advance <a href=\"https:\/\/skygarden.london\/sky-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, and it&#8217;s only for an hour.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BVhlJ-KhVTm\/?taken-at=118117728765441<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>13. Sherling High-Level Walkway @ The National Theatre<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a theatre geek, then head onto this walkway and take a behind-the-scenes look at the National Theatre&#8217;s production workshops. See the shows before they actually happen!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>14. The Phoenix Garden<\/h2>\n<p>Surround yourself with wild flowers and wildlife in the Phoenix Garden, one of the West End&#8217;s best kept secrets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>15. Have a picnic (or barbecue!) in a park<\/h2>\n<p>Take advantage of the hot weather, grab your friends, and have a picnic in one of London&#8217;s many parks. Some, like the ones <a href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2017\/06\/12\/8-parks-in-london-where-you-are-allowed-to-have-a-bbq-6702491\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, may even allow a barbecue, although it&#8217;s best to check beforehand and find out what the regulations are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>16. Seven Dials Spotlight Festival<\/h2>\n<p>Head to Seven Dials, in between Covent Garden and Soho, on the 19th August for a free one-day festival filled with music, comedy and arts. Find out what happened last year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8frrbMYYgEQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, and keep an eye out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sevendials.co.uk\/events\/seven-dials-events-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>&nbsp;for more information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>17. Museum Lates<\/h2>\n<p>Dulwich Picture Gallery isn&#8217;t the only place to extend closing times &#8211; many London museums have been doing so for ages, including the ever-popular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhm.ac.uk\/events\/lates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Natural History Museum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/whats_on\/friday_lates.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">British Museum<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencemuseum.org.uk\/visitmuseum\/plan_your_visit\/lates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Science Museum<\/a>. It&#8217;s often a fun evening, and you can fit going out and other things around them.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>18. Find a city farm<\/h2>\n<p>London isn&#8217;t the first place that comes to mind when you think &#8216;farm&#8217;, but there&#8217;s plenty in the city &#8211; and you&#8217;d be hard pressed to find one that isn&#8217;t free. Spend an afternoon with sheep, pigs, and maybe even horses in Kentish Town, Pimlico, Spitalfields and the Isle of Dogs, amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>19. Portobello Film Festival<\/h2>\n<p>Say goodbye to the summer and bring in the autumn with the Portobello Film Festival, taking place from 31st August-16th September. Perfect for anyone who loves indie films, with everything from drama to horror. &nbsp;Find more details <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portobellofilmfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> closer to the date.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>20. Go somewhere you haven&#8217;t before<\/h2>\n<p>The one thing I&#8217;ve learned from living in London is that you&#8217;re never done discovering new things. Sometimes, just wandering around can lead to finding something amazing.&nbsp;So, find a part of the city you&#8217;ve never been to, and let the adventure find you.<\/p>\n<h5>Do you know any other fun things to do in London this summer?
