The Late Edition

London's evening edition. Independent, updated daily.

What’s on in London tomorrow: Wednesday 14 October

Everything on in London tomorrow, daytime and evening, in time order: 44 listings, 7 of them free, starting at 10am with Gabriel Orozco at White Cube Bermondsey and ending at 11.15pm with Ronnie Scott’s: Late Late Show with Rachael Cohen.

Tomorrow’s list, in time order, rebuilt every day from what we have checked. This is the page for the night before: the things worth booking now, while there is still something left to book.

Times and prices change. The venue link on each entry is the one to trust, and anything running past eleven is flagged so you can work out how you are getting home.

Looking for something to do tomorrow near you? If you are in London, this is the list, daytime and evening. It is worth booking tonight rather than in the morning, because the good things go early.
