And just like that, spring is here. It’s time to come out of hibernation, get outside and fill our calendars with all the fabulous stuff happening across the city this month. Music festivals are back on the cards, as is open-air theatre, seasonal pop-ups and wholesome spring fairs.
The London Marathon and the Boat Race will both be drawing big crowds in April, so we strongly recommend planning your journey well in advance if you’re gonna be there. And you’ll want to make sure you can get to all your Easter bank holiday plans, too.
