Join Londoners making the most of a long weekend from 25 to 27 August, when everyone makes the most of having a bonus Monday off work. Planned events include Smithfield 150 – a street party celebrating 150 years of the markets at Smithfield. Regular and vibrant bank holiday events include the Notting Hill Carnival led by Britain’s West Indian community and South West Four music event. The bank holiday weekend is also full of low-key revelry, from picnics in the park to strolls along the river.
