Put your money away! Here are the week’s best free events
The Graphic Art of the Harry Potter Films
Graphic designers Minalima have taken the vivid descriptions of things from JK Rowling’s brill books and created 3D versions. From The Marauder’s Map and Harry’s Acceptance Letter, to The Daily Prophet, see them all at this Soho pop-up. Instagramiarmus! House of Minalima, Greek St. Leicester Square. Until Feb 1.
Pride in London Parade
The annual parade celebrating LGBT+ communities promises to be bigger than ever this year. The theme is #nofilter requesting that you ‘just be you’ – wear what you want and march how you like. Trafalgar Square. Charing Cross. Sat Jun 25.
Utopia Fair
Displays, events and activities will debate how utopian ideals can be used to benefit twenty-first-century communities. All that thinking is hungry work – happily there’ll be top grub from Save the Date Café who use ingredients destined for landfill. Somerset House. Temple. Fri Jun 24-Sun Jun 26.
Speedo’s Dive In
Pull on your budgie-smugglers and cozzies for free swimming lessons at your local lido.

London Fields Overground. Sun Jun 26.
The People Build
This hilarious and awesome ‘architectural event’ devised by French artist Olivier Grossetête invites you to help build a huge structure out of humble cardboard boxes – a democratically devised and assembled building. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Stratford. Tue Jun 21-Sat Jun 25.
Wimbledon Workout Week
Gymbox, triyoga and Lorraine Kelly’s zumba trainer (obvs), among others, take over the rooftop garden in Victoria’s Cardinal Place to get locals ‘match fit’. Hearts will race like Drake’s when he first clapped eyes on Serena Williams. Cardinal Place Roof Garden. Victoria. Until Fri Jun 24.
