Events in London

London's events span every genre, format, and budget. On any given weekend there are hundreds of options, from large-scale productions at Fabric and KOKO to intimate parties in basement venues. Techno, house, drum and bass, UK garage, disco, jazz, and grime all have dedicated weekly or monthly events. The problem is rarely finding something on — it is filtering down to what suits you.

London has a strong midweek events culture, with club nights, jazz sessions, comedy, and gigs running every day. Notting Hill Carnival in August is the biggest street event in Europe. Summer brings a run of outdoor festivals and day parties, while the indoor scene remains active year-round. New venue openings in Peckham, Hackney Wick, and east London have shifted some of the city's nightlife geography in recent years.
