With an official wristband that costs £15, you can enjoy special £7 cocktails from some of the best bars in town. As well as this, the festival will be hosting cocktail events and experiences, exclusive menus and immersive pop-ups, perfect for all tastes.
As tradition goes, you cannot visit London in the autumn and winter seasons and not visit the Natural History Museum Ice Rink. Head on down to the rink from the 22nd October to start the festivities nice and early, with twinkling fairy lights nestled between the trees and the smell of hot chocolate in the air.
With this year’s theme focusing on the importance of friendship, the London Literature Festival returns to the Southbank Centre from 21-31st October. From discussions and talks with Jack Dee and Daisy May Cooper, to award ceremonies, exhibitions and the 2021 Booker Prize Shortlist Readings, this celebration of all things literature will truly be one not to miss.
Whether you wish to join in-person or online, the London Film Festival has an action-packed schedule from 6-17th October. Come along to some special presentations and hear from your favourite directors, actors and writers to learn more about their work. If you fancy, walk the red carpet like a celebrity at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall and attend one of the star-studded premieres of the most anticipated movies of the year. Tickets go on sale on the 20th September however, extra tickets are released on the 30th September and on the day of the film screening.
