Urban Ninja Obstacle Course
1 - 2 May
Think you're too old for adventure playgrounds? Think again. Urban Ninja is an urban obstacle course with two levels, tame and insane. With no mud, running or pain it's just like being a kid again.



Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
15 May - 12 Sept
Settle down under the twinkling fairy lights with a picnic hamper and glass of wine for an intimate theatrical performance in the beautiful surroundings of Hyde Park.


Open Garden Squares Weekend
13 & 14 June
This is a fantastic opportunity to see over 200 private, hidden and little-known gardens across London. You could even be lucky enough to snoop round the garden at Downing Street.


Rooftop Film Club
1 - 13 May
If you are a film lover then the chance to eat fabulous food, enjoy cold drinks and watch your favourite movie on the big screen as the stars begin to sparkle makes for the perfect summer night out.


Kew the Music
8 - 12 July
Listen to Caro Emerald, Jools Holland, Ub40 and The Specials in the magical Kew Gardens. Pack a picnic and take your mates for a fabulous Summer night out.


Summer Series at Somerset House
9 - 19 July
There's something about listening to live music under the stars on a warm Summer's night. We can't guarantee the weather will be good but the music will be - choose from performances by George Ezra, James Bay, Belle and Sebastian and Jeesie J to name a few.


Charity Streak For Tigers
13 August
If the rising temperatures make you want to rip your kit off then head down to London Zoo and get naked for charity.


Red Bull Soapbox Race
12 July
Watch amateur teams from around the world race their, often outrageous looking, homemade soapbox vehicles downhill with hilarious results.


The Enormous Elephant Run
6 June
You might be forgiven for thinking that the summers really are getting warmer if you head down to Clapham Common on 6th June. However no actual elephants will be taking part in the 5K or 10K runs but you can don an elephant suit and help conserve the species and even try and break a Guinness World Record.
