Music fans, tonight brings the spectacular Billie Eilish Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour to the O2 Arena, promising an electrifying live experience. If musicals are your thing, catch Burlesque The Musical at the Savoy Theatre—it’s a dazzling new production featuring songs by Christina Aguilera and Diane Warren, guaranteed to light up your evening.
For a more intellectual outing, St. Bartholomew the Great has a talk titled Young Benjamin Franklin: the Birth of Ingenuity, diving into the formative years of the American polymath, running 6:30 to 8:30 tonight. Over at Keats House in Hampstead, there’s a provocative discussion on who gets to love the great British poets, delving into poetry, privilege, and power at 6:30.
Looking for a little inspiration to green your fingers? At the British Library in Camden, gardeners Adam Frost and Poppy Okotcha share their wisdom and personal philosophies on nurturing gardens and ourselves at 7pm.
As the weekend draws closer, Friday through Sunday sees the city ramping up into full festival mode. Saturday and Sunday, Greenwich Park hosts Summer in the Park, a family-friendly spectacular with live music, immersive theatre, circus acts, art workshops, and a show-stopping Samba parade—all with free entry. For something truly unique, the Whitecross Street Party near the Barbican runs all weekend, transforming the area with live painting, street art, music and dance stages, spoken word, and fantastic food stalls—a real festival atmosphere that’s also free.
Wimbledon fans, this is your final weekend to soak up the legendary tournament. Venues all over London are screening the finals, many for free, and some spots even offer themed afternoon teas for that authentic British experience.
Families should check out Alice in Wonderland at Marylebone Theatre, opening July 12 and running the rest of summer with puppetry, original music, and stunning costumes bringing Carroll’s classic to life. Meanwhile, Trafalgar Square hosts ChessFest on Sunday with games and activities for chess lovers of all ages, right in the heart of the city.
To round out your week, the Happy Place Festival brings a spirit of well-being to Gunnersbury Park with workshops, yoga, live podcasts and an indie shopping village, and French flair comes to Brasserie Zedel in Piccadilly Circus for Bastille Day with live music, cabaret, and a best-dressed competition.
