The London Weekend

Friday 14th February - Sunday 16th February

This week’s sponsor 🤩

My boyfriend and I are huge fans of Simply Cook (we use it every week) - they send you the recipes and the spices, so you can go down to Tesco and buy the ingredients. They offer a free box so feel free to give it a go!

This unique tour takes you through the streets of London to uncover the surprising history of winemaking and drinking culture in the Middle Ages. It’s an immersive experience led by Dr Matthew Green and brought to life by actors and musicians planted in the medieval city’s tagliatelle of twisting, winding streets.

Your ticket even includes a coconut shell of medieval rose and two tasty glasses of some modern wines.

Date: Saturday 15th, 2:30pm

Price: £45

If the photo hasn’t sold you on this one, I don’t know what will. This 20th Century Fair is a haven for lovers of vintage design, offering a carefully curated selection of mid-century furniture, homeware, fashion, and collectibles.

With a mix of retro classics and rare finds, it’s the perfect place to browse and shop for unique pieces that bring timeless style to any space.

Date: Saturday 15th - Sunday 16th, 10:30am - 4pm

Price: Free

If you’re a fan of the Transport Museum (like me 🤓), you’ll love this exhibition at The London Archives. This display celebrates the vibrant artwork that once adorned the city’s tram network. Showcasing bold designs and nostalgic imagery, it offers a glimpse into how posters shaped public transport and captured the spirit of London’s past. A fascinating look at where art, meets advertising, meets urban history.

Date: Monday, 17th, 10am-4:30pm (We break away from our usual Weekend rule, but this only runs during the week, but it’s so cool!!!)

Price: Free

Bring a little American charm to your valentines day at Ron’s Honky Tonk, a night of live country music, dancing, and Southern-style fun. Expect toe-tapping tunes, great drinks, and a lively atmosphere that transports you straight to a classic honky tonk bar.

Date: Friday 7th - Sunday 9th Feb, 11am - 4pm

Price: £15

Explore your local indie bookshops and connect with other book lovers on the annual London Bookshop Crawl! It looks like most of the group tours or sold out but you can get a self-guided tour pack to enjoy the fun solo or with some pals.

There’s also tickets available to their bookish quiz, book swap and illustrator workshop!

Date: Friday 14th - Sunday 16th Feb

Price: Prices vary (info on their website)
