Welcome to “Things to Do in London” for Sunday, July 27, 2025! As you step out today, you’ll find the capital buzzing with festival energy under partly sunny skies and moderate summer warmth—a perfect backdrop for adventure. Air quality is good and the spirits across the city are even better, with everyone soaking up the latter half of July and a feast of fabulous events underway.
Kicking off today’s highlights, foodies must not miss Wing Fest at London Stadium in Stratford, the world’s biggest chicken wing celebration, bringing 45 different street food traders together in a spicy, saucy showdown[1][5]. Looking for free, outdoor fun? Head to Docklands for the Certain Blacks Ensemble Festival—think circus-theatre, interactive water art, and gravity-defying trapeze performances[1]. Families will love the Jerk Cookout at Woolwich Works, where you can feast on African, vegan, and classic jerk menus while catching live bands, DJs, comedy, and even pop-up arts and crafts[1].
For culture lovers, Keats House in Hampstead hosts a special 2:15pm talk delving into the literary relationship between poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, complete with museum access[1]. Alternatively, explore disabled filmmaking at the We Crip Festival at BFI Southbank, spanning films, talks, and workshops that push boundaries and perspectives[1]. Over at Camden Market, The Big Sing brings a free crowd-pleasing choral performance from Britain's Got Talent favorites from 3–5pm[1]. And if you’re up for some skating and dancing, Thamesmead’s Cygnet Square holds a Silent Disco SkateJam at 4pm with loaner skates and DJ beats—totally free[1].
Sporting fans, get revved up for the London E-Prix at Royal Docks and ExCel, where the city streets roar with cutting-edge all-electric racing—don’t miss the championship decider and live music acts, including Pixie Lott and Rizzle Kicks[5][10]. Nightlife seekers should climb up to POW Brixton for the Grown & Sexy Summer Rooftop Party from 6pm–11pm, setting the scene with DJ sets, cocktails, and shimmering skyline views[4]. For family fun with a dash of adventure, early risers may catch the Lord Mayor’s Hot Air Balloon Regatta floating over London from 5am—if weather allows[1].
In city news, several new restaurants opened across central London this week—so keep an eye out for fresh flavors. Transit updates: most Tube lines are running smoothly, but check online for any Sunday engineering works before heading out. Over in Royal Docks, a new free lido has launched just in time for the school holidays, offering safe and refreshing swims until August 17—brave the unheated waters if you dare[5]!
If you’re carving out your own path today, why not stray from the crowds to hidden gems like God’s Own Junkyard in Walthamstow, a vibrant wonderland of neon artistry that’s a feast for the senses[7]? Or, opt for a solitary stroll discovering treasures like the Golden Hinde and Southwark Cathedral, all bursting with historical intrigue[2][3].
Insider tip: When traveling by Tube, always stand on the right side of the escalator—locals will thank you for it! And here's a quirky local fact: London’s oldest shop, Berry Bros & Rudd in St. James’s, has been selling wine since 1698.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, the city gears up for more summer festivities, exclusive dining pop-ups, and fresh exhibitions—so be sure to tune in again for your daily dose of inspiration on where to go and what’s hot in London. Have a brilliant day exploring the city!
