So, what events are on in the capital over the next coming months?
For the music lovers out there, this Saturday 6th August sees the return of Field Day to East London. With its origins as a village fete, this brilliant day festival now attracts thousands to Victoria Park. You can expect to be entertained by live music from an array of acts; with sets from small folk bands right up to superstar DJs.
Children can also capitalise on London's summer festivals at the UK's only kid-centric festival, Lollibop on the 5th to 7th August! Rastamouse, Peppa Pig, story-telling and face-painting will ensure your child has a day out to remember.
