概要

 Hey listeners, welcome to your friendly guide for what to do in London today through the weekend of April 5th, 2026. It's Easter Sunday, and the capital is buzzing with spring energy, cherry blossoms popping in the parks, and a lineup of unmissable events that capture the city's electric vibe.

Kicking off right now on this sunny Easter Sunday, head to St Katharine Docks for Floating Jazz on the marina's floating pontoon. According to Londonist, live jazz from Olivia Swann and Jazz King Jamie Safir fills the air from afternoon into evening, complete with free bubbles, cozy blankets, and twinkling yacht views—perfect for a relaxed family outing or romantic chill by the water. Over at the Soane Stable Yard, Events for London highlights family-friendly Easter activities running until 4pm, like hands-on history workshops and egg hunts that dive into London's quirky past.

If you're catching up from yesterday, Saturday the 4th was epic with the Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race thundering down the Thames from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Bridge. London Travel Planning reports the women's race kicked off at 2:20pm for its 80th anniversary, followed by the men's at 3:20pm—their 171st clash—drawing 200,000 cheering crowds along the banks, pubs overflowing with that unbeatable rivalry buzz. Free to watch, and Putney Bridge tube made it super easy to join.

Rewind to Good Friday the 3rd, Trafalgar Square hosted The Passion of Jesus plays, as detailed by IanVisits and London Travel Planning—two free 90-minute outdoor performances at noon and 3:15pm with over 100 actors, animals, and a massive silent crowd around the fountains. Powerful stuff, even if Easter's not your thing.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Easter Monday the 6th, brace for bank holiday crowds at top attractions, but snag spots for family fun. Then the week ramps up: Roundhouse Three-Sixty festival starts April 8th through 29th, per SecretLDN, featuring Kae Tempest launching his book Having Spent Life Seeking, Amaarae's UK premiere of Black Star Experience, and a new play from Daniel Kaluuya's Centre 59—grab tickets for this creative explosion in Camden.

Don't miss Hayward Gallery Lates tonight if you're out late—SecretLDN says it's a one-night-only immersion in Chiharu Shiota’s Threads of Life and Yin Xiuzhen’s Heart to Heart with performances and poetry from 6pm.

London's alive with free thrills like these, blending history, music, and that diverse pulse that makes it magical. Get out there, tube it or walk those blooming parks, and make memories.
