5 Things to do in London this June

Our top 5 things to keep you entertained in London throughout June this year

As summer kicks off in earnest, London really starts to come into its own with artificial beaches, nights at the Zoo, exhibitions and more. Forget holidays abroad, London really is the place to be in the summer

To guide your through the mayhem, we’ve put together a list of our Top 5 things to do in London in June. From the best food London has to offer, to snooping around private gardens, we’re all set for an action-packed month. 

1.     Zoo Nights @ ZSL London Zoo

Tipped as the most original after-hours event of the summer (no mean feat in a city like London), ZSL London Zoo is throwing open its doors for their adult-only Zoo Nights. Just a stone’s throw from The Marylebone in Regent’s Park, Zoo Nights takes its inspiration from the natural world, celebrating bioluminescence. Wind your way through street entertainers, stilt walkers and pop-up food stalls – this is no ordinary feeding time at the zoo.

2.     Evening Standard London Food Month

The Evening Standard’s ‘London Food Month’ will be celebrating all things delicious in London this summer. Curated by two of the most well respected food critics in the country, Grace Dent and Tom Parker Bowles, the month-long festival will see 400 events taking place across London (including a Night Market just down the road from The Kensington). Dalloway Terrace at The Bloomsbury will be celebrating all things Scandi with The Scandinavian Summer Brunch, whilst 108 Brasserie at The Marylebone have a special daily lunch menu devised by Chef Russell Ford.
