Showing this weekend. Clear

Sunday

25 October

  1. Free

    Evening walk: Kensington Gardens to the Round Pond

    18:30 Kensington Gardens, Kensington

    The pond sits on the axis of the palace, so the view back at it in low light is the one the garden was laid out to give you. Twenty minutes from the High Street.

  2. Food and drink Free

    Leadenhall Market

    07:00 Leadenhall Market, The City

    A Victorian covered market in cream and burgundy, free to walk through and open to the street. Busy with the City at lunch and almost empty at the weekend, which is when to photograph it.

  3. Free

    St Dunstan in the East

    08:00 St Dunstan in the East Church Garden, The City

    A Wren church bombed in 1941 and left as a ruin with a garden planted inside it. Free, open from eight, and quietest before the City arrives. The tower is still standing.

  4. Free

    Crossrail Place Roof Garden

    06:00 Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf

    A garden under a timber lattice roof on top of the station, planted either side of the meridian with species from the hemisphere they belong to. Free, open early, and covered.

  5. Free

    Street art on Brick Lane

    10:00 Brick Lane, Shoreditch

    The walls change every few weeks, so the walk is different from the one anybody photographed last year. Start at the Truman Brewery and work north up the side streets.

  6. Free

    Carnaby Street and the courts

    10:00 Carnaby Street, Soho

    The street itself takes five minutes; Kingly Court behind it takes an afternoon. Three floors of a courtyard with the roof open in summer and closed in winter.

  7. Free

    Sky Garden

    10:00 Sky Garden, The City

    Three floors of planted terrace at the top of the Walkie Talkie, free but booked in advance and the slots go about three weeks out. Sunset slots go first. Photo identification on the door.

  8. Food and drink From £6

    Netil360 rooftop, Hackney

    16:00 Netil360, Hackney

    A roof above a car park in London Fields with the whole City skyline lined up in front of it. Small, so it fills on a warm evening; the view is the reason rather than the drinks list.

  9. Clubs From £6

    Rooftop at the Bussey Building

    17:00 Copeland Park and the Bussey Building, Peckham

    Peckham's roof bar, up several flights above the old cricket bat factory, looking back at the city from the south. Runs late at the weekend and the yard below keeps going after it shuts.

  10. Food and drink From £12

    Darts at Flight Club, Shoreditch

    17:00 Flight Club, Shoreditch

    Darts with the scoring done for you and a camera on the board, booked by the oche rather than the person. Cheaper before six and on a weekday, and it does run late.

  11. Food and drink From £14

    Crazy golf at Swingers, West End

    12:00 Swingers West End, Mayfair

    Two nine hole courses under a glass roof with street food traders around the edge. Over 18s in the evening, and booking is effectively required at the weekend.

  12. Exhibitions From £24

    Frameless

    10:00 Frameless, Marylebone

    Four rooms of projected painting, floor to ceiling, under Marble Arch. Permanent rather than a touring show, so there is no rush, and quietest in the first hour of the day.
