What's On in London? July 2025


Summer has arrived!

London in July is a city in full bloom — vibrant, sun-drenched, and buzzing with energy. As the capital hits its summer stride, the streets come alive with world-class events, alfresco experiences, and cultural celebrations that stretch from morning coffees to golden-hour cinema under the stars.

From the iconic Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the joyful spirit of Pride in London, to open-air art trails and royal palace tours, there’s something for every kind of explorer this month.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive into our What’s On guide and discover the best of London this July — one unforgettable event at a time.

Wimbledon Tennis Championship


From 30th June to 13th July, the world’s most iconic tennis tournament returns — and while Centre Court may be a tough ticket to score, there’s still a fabulous way to catch the action right here in London.

Wimbledon in the Yards is back, offering the perfect outdoor setting to watch the championships live from Eccleston Yards. Settle in with a deck chair and enjoy the matches on the big screen, all while indulging in frozen chocolate-covered strawberries from trüfrü, who’ll be popping up from 3pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the tournament.

Located just a short stroll from our hotel, Eccleston Yards is the ideal local escape for a sunny afternoon. And when it’s time to cool off, head back to The Hari Bar for a refreshing drink and a relaxed retreat from the summer buzz.

Until the 17th August, this much-loved concept store makes its grand return to The Village, ready to surprise and delight with its unique menu of unexpectedly delicious ice creams and sorbets.

Curated by Anya Hindmarch, the 2025 line-up features a host of brand-new flavours alongside a few returning favourites. Each creation is a playful (and seriously tasty) tribute to some of Anya’s most iconic cult food brands — think cupboard staples reimagined in the coolest way possible.

Whether you’re a loyal fan or a first-time visitor, this summer’s scoop promises to be full of flavour, fun, and a little bit of foodie magic. Don’t miss it.

Take a Dip in London's Lidos


Looking for the perfect place to escape the London heat? You’re in luck — the capital is home to a brilliant selection of outdoor swimming pools, ideal for soaking up the sun and enjoying a refreshing dip.

Beloved by locals, London’s lidos are a go-to destination on a hot summer’s day. Just a short distance away, you’ll find the Serpentine Lido in Hyde Park — a daringly chilly choice for the brave-hearted. Prefer something a little warmer?

BBC The Proms


One of the UK’s most treasured musical traditions returns this summer as the BBC Proms once again fills the Royal Albert Hall with the sounds of world-class orchestras, soloists, and genre-defying performances.

Summer Openings at Buckingham Palace


A symbol of the British monarchy and the setting for countless national celebrations, Buckingham Palace is one of London’s most iconic landmarks — and this summer, its magnificent State Rooms open once again for public visits.

From 10 July to 28 September 2025, visitors will have the rare opportunity to step behind the palace gates and explore the opulent rooms where royal ceremonies and official events take place. Expect grand chandeliers, exquisite artwork, and a fascinating glimpse into royal life past and present.

London Pride


London comes alive with colour, music, and unity as Pride in London returns on Saturday 5th July 2025, bringing together thousands of people to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and champion equality.

The iconic Pride Parade will wind its way through the heart of the capital, filling the streets with vibrant floats, powerful messages, and joyful celebrations — all set against the backdrop of London’s most famous landmarks. Kicking things off in fabulous style, the eve of Pride promises to be extra-wild at the Natural History Museum, which is hosting a special after-hours event. Expect an evening of fun, curiosity, and cheeky education — exploring the kind of biology they definitely didn’t teach in school.

Whether you’re marching, supporting from the sidelines, or soaking up the festivities at one of the many after-parties, Pride in London is a heartfelt celebration of love in all its forms — and a powerful reminder that Pride is both a party and a protest.
