Obsessed with all things royal? Visit Buckingham Palace – INSIDE (it only opens up during the summer). I am told that this is an amazing experience, and a very unique one, too!
Go to Wimbledon! And if you can’t get tickets ahead of time, plan on just showing up outside and eating strawberries and cream with the fans on the lawn (there are also same-day tickets available).
LONDON PRIDE is happening at the beginning of July – the biggest LGBTQ+ celebration in the U.K.! Check out English gay icon Quentin Crisp’s solo show on 8 July (a once-in-a-lifetime event!) or show up in Trafalgar Square to see the awesome Pride Parade and celebration on 7 July.
Love music? You must check out one of London’s many cool music festivals. You can find a list of those happening in July here. Maybe you are more of a classical music aficionado like me? You have to see the BBC Proms, a long-running festival of classical music in the gorgeous Royal Albert Hall. You can get standing-room-only tickets to hear the world’s classical superstars for only 6 pounds – unbelievable! There are amazing other artists on the docket, too, like Buena Vista Social Club and Youssou N’dour.
