Things to do this weekend in London, October 2–4 2026

London's October weekend stacks up with headline concerts and live theatre. Love Never Dies In Concert keeps lights bright all three days—preview tickets run through 18 October, and the box office lists seats, timing and location details, with Maps if you need bearings. On the free side, browse an array of open-air and indoor concerts across the city from Friday at 17:00 through Sunday night; listings update all week, and Maps helps connect you to the next venue on your walk.

Hip hop fans have Friday to Sunday for late-night sets starting at 22:00; filter free events or find Maps support. West End regulars should scan advice on securing £10 theatre seats for the bigger productions; Maps breaks down the routes.

Settle in for a meal between events—Bulbul (Middle Eastern, Maps), Dorothy’s (Maps), and Lady of the Grapes (Maps) stand out near central and riverside venues.

For further inspiration on London’s food and bar scene, the Sunday letter A New Map: London's Latest Tables and Bars Now Live in the City Guide rounds out your weekend planning.
