Upcoming this summer!

With my full time employment for the summer about to start and the moving day for my new flat set, I'm very much looking forward to this summer. Away from work, London offers a huge variety of events and places to visit through the hopefully sunnier months.

Here are a few of my recommendations...

Roundhouse Summer Sessions!

An amazing venue with all the new and prominent artists. The Roundhouse is a great space in Camden that hosts a range of events, a favourite of mine being the summer sessions. With media and creativity at the forefront, there are music nights, poetry slams, drop in media sessions for all levels and even a purpose made beach for all Londoners who can't escape to the sea this year. If you are aged 16 to 25 you can also sign up to get £5 tickets for all sorts.

 

I already have my tickets for Andreya Triana, set to be a good night with the whole lower floor set out into a music café setting. Discounted drinks at the bar and live music on a Friday evening in July. Perfection! Pictures and a review will be up as shortly after.

Udderbelly festival!

 

Although this started mid-April, this comedy festival actually lasts until mid-July. A myriad of comedians and comic genius' are present and tickets aren't a bad price. A few of my favourites are performing this year: Andy Zaltzman - Political animal; Ed Byrne - Roaring Forties and Roisin Conaty.

 

However, there are not only comedians but theatrical acts, cabaret, dance groups and poetry readings.

Something for everyone, just head to http://www.udderbelly.co.uk/ for more information and to buy tickets.

 

 

 

Thames festival!

 

Every year, there is an amazing month long festival along the Thames: The Mayor's Thames Festival! With performing acts, crazily good food stands and rows of market stalls - so many vintage clothes! - fireworks and even a river race, the Thames Festival is perfect for all ages. Having been two years ago and planning to go again this year, I definitely recommend this for everyone and obviously it's free to check out.

Enjoy your summer!
