"We look for cool things to do in London, so you don’t have to."

The London Weekend is a manually curated newsletter that delivers you 5 cool things (ranging from speed dating and art sessions to board game meet-ups and comedy nights) you can do to make the most of each weekend. It lands in your inbox every Thursday morning so you can start adding to your weekend plans.

The London Weekend started as a simple solution to a personal problem. After living in London for a while we’d fallen into the same routines and weren’t often venturing outside our regular spots and activities. We were keen to meet other, like-minded people and find new things to do. In a city as big as London there’s always loads going on but it can be overwhelming to pick out some great activities, so we started putting in the effort to filter through what was on. We found this practice so helpful, we wanted to share with fellow Londoners. Thus The London Weekend was born…

The newsletter is proudly crafted and curated by us - Hannah and Kris, a London-based couple originating from Ireland and Bulgaria, wanting to make the most of our life in London.

PS. We’re always very open to feedback and love hearing back from subscribers. If you have anything in mind or just want to share your experience following any of the newsletters’ suggestions, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email!
