 London is sparkling this week, so let’s dive straight into what listeners can actually do across the city over the next few days.

If you want big, emotional singalongs, Mumford & Sons are wrapping up their European tour with a homecoming show at The O2 in North Greenwich tonight, with support from Sierra Ferrell. According to The O2’s own listings, doors open at 6.30pm, so you can head down early, grab some food in the dome, and settle in for those banjo-driven anthems.

For something a bit more serene and arty, the Frameless immersive art experience just off Marble Arch is running every day through the end of the year. Ticketmaster’s London guide describes it as four vast galleries where famous paintings swirl and shift around you in 360 degrees, with a cinematic soundtrack and plenty of festive touches. It’s indoors, it’s warm, and it’s perfect if listeners want a culture hit between bouts of Christmas shopping on Oxford Street.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Time Out London highlights some brilliant free things to do. In Greenwich on Sunday, more than 40 “pantomime horses” will be racing through the streets in full costume, raising money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital and stopping at local pubs for “refuelling” breaks. Time Out explains that this year’s theme is rock stars, so expect Beatles‑style “Fab Foals” and even an “Amy Winehorse” trotting past Greenwich Park and the Old Royal Naval College.

If Christmas markets are more your vibe, Time Out and Londonist both pick out Crafty Fox’s big Christmas market at Granary Square in King’s Cross this Saturday and Sunday. Independent makers will be selling jewellery, prints, textiles and ceramics, and Londonist suggests tying it in with a visit to the nearby Gingerbread City exhibition in Coal Drops Yard for a full festive day out.

Londonist also flags the Ever After Garden at Duke of York Square in Chelsea, where more than 30,000 illuminated white roses create a glowing field you can wander through after dark. It’s free to visit, and donations support The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, with the option to dedicate a rose to someone special.

If listeners prefer music with a seasonal twist, London Theatreland lists “Candlelight: Christmas Classics” at Central Hall Westminster on Saturday night, with festive favourites performed by live musicians surrounded by hundreds of flickering candles. Think carols, pop standards and a cosy, atmospheric setting right by Westminster Abbey.

Finally, for pure capital‑C Christmas, Londonist reminds everyone that London’s big ice rinks are all open: Somerset House, Hampton Court Palace, and a brand‑new central London rink are all taking bookings. Pair an evening skate with a walk under the Oxford Street stars and Carnaby’s lights and you’ve got a classic winter night out.
