Strawberries & Screen is back

Strawberries & Screen

If you can’t get tickets to Centre Court, and don’t want to queue, then a good option is to head to King’s Cross to see all the live tennis action on the big screen. The screen will be one of the biggest and best in central London, making it a useful place to watch Wimbledon. Free. Mon 3rd – Sun 16th July, Lewis Cubitt Square N1C

Celebrate Eid

Expect spectacle, art and, of course, great scran, at this annual bash outside Dishoom.

Hampstead Summer Festival

If you’ve never been, Hampstead’s annual seasonal bash is way less staid than you might think. Almost riotous, in fact. A week of artsy happenings kicks off from June 25th, the climax being a colourful street party with carnival atmosphere and tens of thousands cramming the thoroughfares. Over 100 stalls line Heath Street to a backdrop of live music, street entertainment, a fun fair, circus, artisan food, boutique clothing and gifts. July 2nd, Hampstead High Street NW3
