London's October Extravaganza: Bratwurst, Beats, and Bavarian Bliss

Welcome, fabulous listeners, to Things to Do in London—your epic roundup for Saturday, October 4th, 2025. I’m Oly Bennet, your roving, energy-fueled sports nut with a passport full of stamps and a head full of wild facts. London’s waking up today under classic autumn skies: expect a brisk, cheeky breeze with bursts of sun popping through, perfect for layering those cozy jumpers or strutting a full Bavarian getup. The city is pulsing with excitement—whether you’re after culture, neon lights, or the world’s largest bratwurst, London's got you covered.

Let’s fire off today’s can’t-miss events for every flavor of fun. If you want a story to one-up your mates, Camden Oktoberfest returns for its ninth, sausage-stuffed, stein-toting year at Electric Ballroom. Fancy joining lederhosen-clad new friends while you swig giant German beers and do the chicken dance? The party rages from 2 to 9 PM—so get practicing your best ‘Prost!’ according to event organizers. For the night owls and club kids, there’s a free House Music and Amapiano night just up Stoke Newington Road—beats thumping till 2 AM and your wallet stays as full as your dance card, as shared by Eventbrite’s listings.

Culture connoisseurs and quirky families, get a final dose of magic at the Royal Docks Originals festival, closing today with all-ages workshops, creative parades, and wild art installations. At Royal Albert Wharf and Compressor House, you’ll find everything from salsa classes to DIY head carving and even a digital time capsule unveiling riveting London stories from days gone by. News from Royal Docks highlights this energy as they roll out bold plans for new public spaces that’ll shape London’s future playgrounds.

For those who crave music that’ll blow the roof off, Lady Gaga is bringing her MAYHEM Ball Tour to The O2 Arena tonight. Doors swing open at 6:30, so get your poker face ready—it’s going to be a roaring show as relayed on Setlist.fm’s concert tracker. And hey, if you’re more of a comic book crusader, keep your superhero suit on standby; MCM Comic Con fever has started to bubble with secret events popping up ahead of its main dates later this month. Add in The Future Was Then exhibition at The Cartoon Museum, where you can marvel at retro visions of the future, and it’s a recipe for a Saturday worthy of a standing ovation.

London’s local scene just keeps sizzling. Black History Month celebrations have kicked off all around town—head to Hackney Bridge for the Black Eats Fest, or the Black British Book Festival for literary legends and electrifying panels, as Citizen Femme reports. Foodies should slip over to Neal’s Yard to try Homeslice—their pizzas are enormous, perfect for sharing after a canal stroll or before a night on the town.

Here’s an Oly Bennet tip for you, straight from the city’s underground: want to beat the Tube crowds this weekend? Hop on a Barclay’s Bike and pedal along the Regent’s Canal from Camden to Little Venice—where you’ll spot everything from eccentric houseboats to cheese-themed pubs. If you see a pack of Teletubbies on a double-decker bus tour, don’t rub your eyes—that’s just another normal October day in this delightfully bonkers city!

Looking ahead, keep your dancing shoes and fancy dress close. Tomorrow, the Teletubbies themselves roll into Borough Market for a wild, kid-friendly West End takeover. Plus, Black History Month events intensify, and the city gears up for even bigger autumn festivals and secret gigs.
