June in London can mark the beginning of a season of sweaty commutes and sardine-style queues as temperatures rise and the city gets busier. Done right, however, it can be one of the best cities to bask in during the summer. It’s all about quality over quantity. Think outdoor experiences that extend into golden hour, the emerging talent with intimate shows that entertain just as much as a West End billing and the music venues that get you into the right state of mind to let loose. Summer in London is also an act of careful consideration, weekends and pretty attractions are guaranteed to attract too much footfall to coast through the streets in peace. Consider this your monthly guide to avoiding that. Quality over quantity, substance over hype.
