About
London in 2026
Londonruns one of the more interesting event calendars in its region — beach clubs, party boats, rooftop dinners, and the seasonal festival circuit. I’m on the ground in London later in 2026; until then the editorial here is research-led and flagged as such on every guide.
This site is an independent directory I run. Events are pulled live from the venues and promoters themselves via the TicketWave ticketing platform — so when you see a listing here it’s a real event with real availability. Click through and you buy directly from the organiser, not from me.
No subscriptions, no accounts, no marketing emails. Just the events.

Common questions
About London 2026
Each major venue picks its own opening weekend; opening weeks generally cluster between late spring and early summer. The Events page above lists everything currently on sale, sorted by date — that's the most accurate "what's open" answer at any given moment.
Headline acts and opening weekends sell out weeks ahead — buy as soon as they go on sale. Mid-week and resident-only nights usually have door availability. The "Tonight / This Weekend" shelf above shows what's still bookable now.
No. There are no booking fees on this site. Each event links directly to the venue or promoter's own ticket page — you pay them, not me.
Yes. Any event sold through TicketWave's white-label ticketing is automatically indexed in this directory — there's no separate submission step. Restaurants, beach clubs and other businesses can add a directory listing via the "List your business" link in the footer.
No. This is an independent guide I run via TicketWave. No public funds, no sponsorship from the city, no tourist-board funding — the listings are editorial.
