London is full of exciting things to do, especially on the weekends. Whether you’re a Londoner or visiting for a few days, be sure to explore new places, enjoy cultural events, and relax in local hotspots. Here’s a curated list of the best things to do in London this weekend.
ROOFTOP CHRISTMAS MOVIES
Get ready for a festive treat at the JOIA Rooftop Movie Pop-Up in Battersea, where Christmas films are screened with a great view of the Battersea Power Station chimneys. Enjoy dinner or a Sunday lunch beforehand, then settle in with friends, nougat-flavoured popcorn, and your favourite holiday movies. It’s an easy, cosy way to add some Christmas cheer to your weekend.
GLIDE AT BATTERSEA POWER STATION
Set against the striking backdrop of one of London’s most iconic landmarks, Glide at Battersea Power Station by Boots is easily the most spectacular open-air ice rink in the city. This stunning winter attraction blends festive charm with unforgettable riverside views, making it a must-visit spot for seasonal fun in London. Whether you're planning a cosy date night or a family day out, Glide offers a magical experience right in the heart of the capital.
DINE AT A REAL LOCAL HIDDEN GEM
If you love discovering true local gems, Durumcu Ali Baba in Enfield deserves a spot at the very top of your must-visit list. Tucked away from the busier high streets, this family-run Turkish restaurant is the kind of place locals whisper about - the spot you really only hear of through someone in the know. And once you try it, you’ll understand why.
PERSIAN AFTERNOON TEA
At Kiani Tea, experience a Persian twist on the classic afternoon tea, where delicate flavours, cultural elegance, and rich traditions blend seamlessly. Savour a beautifully curated selection of savoury bites, fragrant scones, and exquisite Persian sweets, all paired with the signature glittering Royal Exchange Blend and your choice of up to three premium teas. It’s an afternoon tea that celebrates heritage, indulgence, and pure artistry.
WREATH MAKING WORKSHOP AT KEW
Get into the festive spirit and pick up a new skill by crafting your own traditional Christmas wreath, complete with seasonal foliage and decorative touches. It’s the perfect way to add a personal, beautifully festive flourish to your home—and ensure your front door is the best dressed in town.
