Chelsea Flower Show - Tuesday 19/05 - Saturday 23/05 

At UKLASH, we’re always talking about growth, and there’s nothing quite like seeing it come to life at the Chelsea Flower Show. It’s one of London’s most iconic events, filled with beautifully curated gardens and creative floral displays, and easily one of the most pretty places in London during this time of year.

Tickets can be on the pricier side, with Saturday entry around £114, so if you’re searching for things to do in London for free, we’d recommend heading to Chelsea In Bloom instead. The streets of Chelsea transform into a stunning open-air floral gallery, completely free to explore.

Start at Sloane Square, wander along the King’s Road and finish in Chelsea Green to take in the full display. It’s the perfect way to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the creativity and experience London in full bloom, without the ticket.

Things To Do With Kids London

Go To a City Farm

For slower, feel-good activities in London, a visit to Vauxhall City Farm or Hackney City Farm is always a good idea. They’re some of our favourite things to do with kids London, especially on a sunny day, and even better, they’re completely free. If you’re searching for things to do in London for free, this is one to add to your list.

Go To The Young V&A

Looking for things to do in London inside when the weather isn’t on your side? The Young V&A is a go-to. It’s designed to spark creativity and curiosity, making it one of the best things to do with kids London, while still being inspiring for adults too.

It’s also one of the top things to do in London for free, and a perfect mix of culture and play when you’re planning easy, engaging activities in London.

Best Day Festivals London

From feel-good music moments to high-energy pop crowds, these London England festivals are some of our go-to picks for making the most of summer in the city.

Cross The Tracks - Sunday 24/05

Set in Brockwell Park, Cross The Tracks is a must if you love jazz, funk and soul. It’s one of those feel-good day festivals where street food, craft drinks and a relaxed South London energy come together to make it the perfect summer day out. Ticket prices start at £69.95

Mighty Hoopla - Saturday 30/05 - Sunday 31/05

Bold, playful and unapologetically fun, Mighty Hoopla is all about pop and nostalgia, which is reflected in the headliners which include Lily Allen, Scissor Sisters and Jessie J to name a few. It’s easily one of the most talked-about activities in London over summer, especially if you’re planning a day out with friends. Ticket prices start at £65.45

All Points East - Friday 21/08 - Sunday 30/08

Taking over Victoria Park each summer, All Points East blends huge headline acts with a mix of emerging artists and genre-spanning line-ups. Across multiple weekends in August, it’s one of the biggest music events in the city and a staple when it comes to planning standout summer activities in London.

After the energy of the London Marathon, from the stories to the marathon pictures London that stayed with us, it’s clear this city thrives on movement, connection and growth. If you look at how many people running the London Marathon each year, it’s a reminder of just how powerful that collective energy can be.

At UKLASH, we’ve always believed that growth isn’t just about results, it’s about how you feel along the way. The small rituals, the new experiences, the confidence that builds over time. And there’s no better place to lean into that than a city that’s constantly evolving.
So whether you’re ticking off things to do in London in May or planning ahead for the season, consider this your reminder to take it all in, try something new and make space for the moments that move you.

Because growth looks different for everyone, and this season is yours to shape. Here’s to feeling healthier, bolder, stronger and continuing to Never Stop Growing.
