Summer is in full swing and our Visit London authors have been making the most of London's best outdoor theatre shows, fun pop-up events and top experiences to enjoy in the sunshine. Check out what we've been up to this month as we look ahead for even more fun things to do in July.
Chantal - Celebrating tennis season on a Wimbledon Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
With London basking in endless sunshine and Wimbledon kicking off at the end of June, it was the perfect time to hop aboard a tennis-themed Wimbledon Afternoon Tea Bus Tour through the city.
Bringing the spirit of Wimbledon to life, it was game, set, and snack as we indulged in a delightful spread of sweet treats, dainty sandwiches, and more. From classic strawberries and cream and freshly baked scones to refreshing Pimm’s and bubbly Prosecco, this panoramic tour of London’s top sights served up a winning combination of flavours and views.

Hannah - Captivated by the moving revival of Evita
I’ve had a wonderfully sunny June enjoying the best outdoor activities and tasty street food markets that London has to offer during the warmer months, but a highlight for me was seeing the much-anticipated Evita at The London Palladium.
The musical was incredible from start to finish; there was so much drama, excitement and emotion filling the room, and the balcony scene was incredible to watch unfold too.
You can read my full Evita review on the Visit London blog.
Sigrun - Immersed in Our Story with David Attenborough at the Natural History Museum
A highlight of June was heading to the Natural History Museum to see Our Story with David Attenborough.
Every wall displayed how our story on planet Earth began and the chapters in the story that followed. I was so fascinated by the sight of mushrooms growing and seeing whales gliding across the screens. There were ancient cave drawings from far gone civilizations followed by imagery of all kinds of diverse people, animals and habitats, along with recordings from various documentaries. I didn't know where to turn my head! I was happy to see a positive message at the end, showing how much of a difference we can make despite the global climate issues we currently face.

Carole - Seeing the showstopping roller-skating race, Starlight Express
As a keen roller-skater myself, Starlight Express has been on my list for a while – and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Expect dazzling costumes that land somewhere between Star Trek and the astronaut universe, villains plotting their win, a love story unfolding, and big musical numbers, including 'There's a Light at the End of the Tunnel', a track set to be stuck in your head for days. I gripped my seat as Elektra and Rusty hit the final race, whizzing past the audience at lightning speed.
