One of the best things about staying in London is that there’s always something happening just around the corner. Whether it’s a lively street market, a seasonal festival, or a quirky pop-up, you’ll find plenty of ways to soak in the city’s energy and culture.

Here’s a round-up of what’s on this season near our serviced apartments.

A London icon, Borough Market is perfect for food lovers. Sample everything from artisan cheese to global street food, and don’t forget to grab a freshly baked pastry with your morning coffee.

Smaller and a little more hidden than Borough, this weekend market is a local favourite. Expect craft drinks, street food, and a buzzing but relaxed vibe.

Located close to our E1 apartments, Brick Lane Market is an eclectic mix of vintage clothes, antiques, international food, and live music. Perfect for a Sunday wander.

A free outdoor arts festival filled with theatre, dance, and performance art across Greenwich and East London. Great for families and culture enthusiasts alike.

If you’re staying during the summer months, head to the Southbank Centre for open-air concerts, food stalls, and pop-up bars along the Thames.

For autumn stays, the Southbank also hosts this inspiring celebration of books and ideas, drawing authors and thinkers from all over the world.

From rooftop ice rinks to cosy Alpine-style bars, London in winter is full of pop-ups that bring festive cheer. Many are set up around Tower Bridge, London Bridge, and Canary Wharf—easy to reach from our apartments.

In warmer months, keep an eye out for rooftop cinemas and pop-up cocktail bars across East London. They’re ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

Areas like Peckham (SE15) and Stratford (E15) often host creative pop-ups where local designers, chefs, and artists showcase their work. It’s a great way to experience London’s community spirit.

Our apartments are located in neighbourhoods that put you close to London’s cultural hotspots while still letting you retreat to a quiet, comfortable home base. Whether you’re in SE15 Peckham, E1 Whitechapel, or E15 Stratford, you’ll always find something happening nearby.

London is a city that never stands still, and staying in one of our serviced apartments means you’re right at the heart of it all. From world-class markets to seasonal festivals and creative pop-ups, there’s always something new to discover.
