  • London Fashion, Design and Architecture Fetes Kick Off

    London Fashion, Design and Architecture Fetes Kick Off
    2025/09/18
    London listeners, buckle up for one of the most thrilling weeks on the city’s event calendar. Kicking off today and running through the weekend, London is buzzing with creativity, culture, and culinary feasts.

    Today marks the start of London Fashion Week. The capital becomes a global style hub as designers, celebrities, and models take over runways, galleries, and pop-up spaces. Expect designer showcases at the official venues and citywide pop-ups for those itching to spot the latest trends or rub shoulders with international fashion royalty. From expertly curated talks to glitzy evening events, there’s something for everyone wanting to immerse themselves in the best of British and global fashion, according to VisitLondon.

    For art and design lovers, the city hosts the London Design Festival until September twenty-first. London transforms into one sprawling, innovative gallery. Check out installations inside the Victoria and Albert Museum, experimental works popping up in Shoreditch, and neighborhood trails that celebrate the best new designers and makers from all corners of the world. The Design Festival draws some of the industry’s biggest names and offers hands-on workshops and talks perfect for anyone seeking inspiration, as reported by London Perfect.

    Architecture buffs should take advantage of Open House London, also running until the twenty-first. This is your annual chance to explore more than eight hundred buildings and spaces — from glittering skyscrapers to secretive historic homes — that are usually strictly off-limits to the public. Free tours, architectural walks, and cycle rides dot the city, so don’t miss this rare behind-the-scenes peek, courtesy of Open House London’s event program.

    This weekend, September twentieth, brings the Great River Race, described by the Official London Events Calendar as “London’s River Marathon.” More than three hundred boats, some decked out in wild costumes, set off from Millwall to Ham in Richmond. It’s one of the most colorful spectacles on the Thames, with music, food stalls, and riverside cheering throughout the day.

    The foodie highlight of the weekend is the triumphant return of the Brick Lane Curry Festival, running Friday through Sunday. After years away, Brick Lane explodes with sizzling spices, henna art workshops, Bangla-style dance classes, DJs, and live performances. Restaurants and street vendors pull out their most aromatic dishes, so bring your appetite and prepare for a culinary adventure. DesignMyNight calls it a must for London’s food lovers.

    Looking for something wildly imaginative? The brand-new immersive experience Hexmoor Wizarding Prison opens Friday on Hackney Road. Created by the team behind Alcotraz and Avora, the experience plunges you into a magical prison world, complete with spellbinding interactive scenes, wizarding cocktails, and a prison jumpsuit to match. Magic meets mixology with tickets available from forty-nine pounds fifty, so prepare yourself for London’s quirkiest new showstopper.

    For those seeking a classic London atmosphere, nothing beats cosying up with a pint at one of the city’s historic pubs as autumn settles in. The Spaniards Inn in Hampstead and The Mitre in Fulham serve up roaring fires, centuries-old charm, and perfect comfort food for those who prefer a warm and relaxed weekend.

  • London Design Festival, Open House London, and a Packed Calendar of Events Captivate the City

    London Design Festival, Open House London, and a Packed Calendar of Events Captivate the City
    2025/09/13
    London is bursting with energy this week, and listeners are in for a treat with the city’s packed calendar of events. Kicking off today and running through September 21, the London Design Festival transforms the capital into one giant gallery celebrating innovation and style. This year's highlights include The Flavour Library's interactive chocolate cityscape at Park Royal, the massive 11 Million Dots public artwork, and vibrant district days across Chelsea, Mayfair, and Shoreditch. For a fun family day out, Park Royal hosts special events this weekend as part of the festival, inviting everyone to immerse themselves in creativity, talks, and hands-on experiences.

    Open House London also launches today, unlocking the doors to some of the city's most fascinating buildings typically closed to the public. From private homes of the rich and famous to a Battle of Britain bunker, over 800 locations are yours to explore for free—no booking needed for most places. Whether you want to peek into a striking architectural wonder or join a themed walk, this is your only chance this year to see many secret spaces.

    Animal lovers won’t want to miss The Big Woof, a free dog festival at King’s Cross today and tomorrow. Expect fancy-dress fashion shows for pups, dog massages, culinary demos—yes, ice cream for canines—and plenty of goodies for both humans and their furry companions.

    Art enthusiasts can browse striking ceramics at Ceramics in the City in Hoxton this weekend, meeting artists and seeing live demonstrations. Over in Notting Hill, the Museum of Brands launches a Thunderbirds toy exhibition today, marking 60 years since the iconic show first aired. With over 400 nostalgic items, it’s a walk down memory lane for Gerry Anderson fans.

    Looking for an active way to spend the day? Marylebone Lane is pedestrianized for A Day on the Lane, featuring street food, live music, creative workshops, and workouts all in support of young Londoners.

    If you want something quirky, Sunday morning brings London’s first Mushroom Chocolate A.M. Rave to Notting Hill, organized by Knoops and Dirtea. Enjoy complimentary “smart” hot chocolate, DJ sets, and the unique vibe of the city’s creative crowd. Meanwhile, film buffs can catch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at Rooftop Film Club Stratford Sunday night and—if you want to start the week feeling refreshed—sign up for a wellness IV drip before settling in under the stars.

    Sunday also brings the Ethiopian New Year celebration at Shepherd’s Bush Market, inviting adults and kids to join a lively art workshop and learn about traditions, all for just a couple of pounds.

    Looking ahead, the fun keeps going with London Fashion Week kicking off September 18, and on September 20, the legendary Great River Race sees over 300 boats racing past 28 bridges from Millwall to Richmond in a spectacular river marathon.

    Thank you for tuning in and exploring the best of London with us this week. Don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

    London Abuzz with Festivals, Plays, and Iconic Attractions
    2025/09/11
    London is positively buzzing right now with a festival for every mood, a new adaptation or two onstage, and the city’s most iconic spaces flinging open their doors. If you are in search of plans, Dracula is stalking the Lyric Hammersmith tonight with a brand-new take on Bram Stoker’s classic horror, while the Tony Award-winning comedy The Producers is raising laughs at the Garrick Theatre. Shakespeare buffs can catch classic mistaken-identity chaos with Twelfth Night at The Globe, or see Born With Teeth bring Shakespeare and Marlowe together onstage. Regency magic fills the Open Air Theatre at Regent’s Park, where Brigadoon promises big tunes in lush scenery. For a comedy edge, Every Brilliant Thing features Lenny Henry, Sue Perkins, and Minnie Driver.

    For something more interactive or unusual, London Ghost Tours offer a chilling way to see the city’s haunted corners on a late summer night. Fans of London’s past can climb the 334 steps up Big Ben with tickets on release, or take a twilight bat walk through Brompton Cemetery.

    Friday brings the first day of Open House London, running all week. Dozens of landmark buildings, quirky museums, historic homes, and even secret bunkers are free to explore, no booking needed. Whether you’re peeking inside a university campus or ducking into a grand, usually closed church, the full schedule is online.

    Mark your diaries for a street-art adventure. The London Mural Festival is back and city walls are being transformed by over 100 artists, all celebrating the theme of ‘connection.’ Events are dotted everywhere from Shoreditch to Camden through September.

    The canine crowd should wander to King’s Cross this Saturday and Sunday for The Big Woof, London’s biggest free dog festival. Expect runway shows for pups, pamper sessions, ball pits, demos, and even doggy ice cream.

    Design lovers, the London Design Festival opens tomorrow and runs all week with creative displays, art installations, and interactive exhibits such as The Flavour Library, where you can design your own chocolate-inspired cityscape. For those wanting to shop artisan, Ceramics in the City at the Museum of the Home runs all weekend, offering handmade pieces and live demonstrations.

    Movie fans: On Sunday night, Rooftop Film Club Stratford is screening The Curious Case of Benjamin Button under the stars. Wellness junkies can even pair the film with a rejuvenating IV drip courtesy of Body Brilliant.

    September is also Thames month, so enjoy Totally Thames, a river-wide party of art, exhibitions, boat races, foreshore walks, and family fun. September carries in London Fashion Week, the Great River Race, and even CelebrASIA at Battersea Power Station.
