Everything on this site that costs nothing, from museum late openings to cemetery open days and the free half of the big festivals. Free does not always mean unticketed: where a free event still needs a booked slot, the listing says so.

What to expect

107 listings filed under Free. The busiest rooms are Woolwich Works, Downstairs at the King's Head and Phoenix Arts Club. Concentrated in Woolwich, Crouch End and Covent Garden.

Every listing here has been checked against the venue that is putting it on.

  1. Free

    St James’s Park, free all day

    08:00 St James's Park, Westminster

    The oldest of the royal parks and the one with the pelicans, fed near Duck Island in the afternoon. The bridge gives the view down the lake to Horse Guards that ends up on the postcards.

  2. Free

    Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace

    10:45 Buckingham Palace, Westminster

    Free, and busier than anything else on this list. It does not run every day and it is called off in bad weather, so check the Household Division calendar the morning you go.
