Regent's Park Open-Air Theatre
Inner Circle,
Regent’s Park,
NW1 4NU

This one’s a classic. Located right in the middle of one of the city’s most iconic green spaces, the Open-Air Theatre is an essential fixture in any classic British day out. Book your chosen performance, pre-order a picnic hamper (champagne optional) and you’re good to go.

If a single performance isn’t enough, head to the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival – an all-out celebration of outdoor theatre and culture. It’s totally free, with dozens of acclaimed companies coming together to create some truly special performances.

Opera Holland Park
Ilchester Place,
Kensington,
W8 6LU

If you’re looking for a culture fix out West, try Opera Holland Park. There’s no chance of rain ruining your plans here – the space is totally covered by a canopy. We say arrive early, pre-order charcuterie and BYOB.
Multi-Story Orchestra
Bold Tendencies,
95A Rye Ln,
SE15 4TG

For something totally new, try Multi-Story Orchestra. The unique company puts on orchestral performances in a truly unexpected space; the Bold Tendencies carpark under Frank’s in Peckham. Sit down to a performance and then head upstairs for an Aperol Spritz and those famous views.
