When searching for the best things to do in London each weekend, it’s hard not to end up more confused and indecisive than when you started. While it’s never a bad idea to secure a booking at one of the best restaurants in the capital, spend an evening in one of the latest innovative bars on the scene, or even explore an iconic London attraction, we’re always on the lookout for new, exciting pop-ups, openings and events. Each week, we get the inside track on exciting things to do in London for the upcoming weekend to help us discover a new area of the city or explore a new address in a neighbourhood we (thought) we’d already uncovered.
31 best things to do in London this weekend
1. Boogie at a new bar
Amble down Carnaby Street and enter The Little Violet door to experience the West End’s hottest house parties. The new venue, which opened recently following the success of others, including Soho’s Scarlet Door and Fulham’s Blue Door, sees discerning partygoers step inside a lounge with cosy furniture, with bartenders shaking and stirring craft cocktails. Head downstairs to the subterranean club space, where DJs play pop and dance tracks till the early hours.
Address: The Little Violet Door, 9 Kingly Street, Carnaby, London W1B 5PH

2. Celebrate Pride
Pride in London returns this Saturday, transforming the capital’s streets into a kaleidoscopic blur of parade floats, performances and dazzling attire. While much of the action happens around central London and Soho, many of this week’s most exciting events pay homage to the event. Lío London is the place to carry on the party after a jam-packed day; expect DJ sets from Joshua James and Joel Mignott, plus specially curated Pride sets and performances for the ultimate night out. Alternatively, continue the ce The Table on Battersea, where a performance by Carmen Emissions follows a game of bingo (with a twist).
