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.
Street Markets You’ll Love
Borough Market (SE1)
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.
Maltby Street Market (SE16)
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.
Brick Lane Market (E1)
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.
Festivals Happening This Season
Greenwich + Docklands International Festival (SE10, SE18)
A free outdoor arts festival filled with theatre, dance, and performance art across Greenwich and East London. Great for families and culture enthusiasts alike.
Southbank Summer Festival (SE1)
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.
London Literature Festival (SE1)
For autumn stays, the Southbank also hosts this inspiring celebration of books and ideas, drawing authors and thinkers from all over the world.
Pop-Ups and Seasonal Fun
Winter Pop-Ups
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.
Summer Rooftop Bars
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.
Local Pop-Up Shops and Food Halls
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.
