Summer in East London: Festivals, Concerts & Long Evenings

The Soundtrack of Summer

Victoria Park takes centre stage each August as All Points East returns with one of London's most anticipated music festivals. This year's line-up includes Jorja Smith, Tems, Lorde, Tyler, The Creator and Twenty One Pilots, alongside Outbreak Festival featuring Deftones, IDLES and Amyl and the Sniffers, drawing music fans from across the UK and beyond.

The music continues long after the festival gates close. Venues including Village Underground, EartH, Troxy and Colour Factory keep East London's live music scene going throughout the summer, with gigs, DJ nights and one-off performances happening almost every week.

Chasing the Sunshine

When temperatures rise, East London knows how to make the most of them. Spend the afternoon with a drink overlooking the skyline at Netil360, enjoy al fresco dining along Redchurch Street, or settle into one of Shoreditch's many outdoor terraces before the evening begins.

Closer to home, Aethos London offers its own places to unwind, whether that's lunch in the café or cocktails before heading out for the evening. Looking for a high energy restaurant in the heart of Shoreditch? Mitsu, located in Aethos London,brings big flavour, fire, and fun to the table, inspired by the neighbourhood of Tokyo.

Beyond the Headliners

Summer in East London isn't only defined by festivals. Wander through Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday, browse independent boutiques around Redchurch Street, explore the galleries of Shoreditch or spend an afternoon along Regent's Canal before finding somewhere for dinner.

It's these moments between the headline events that make the neighbourhood one of London's most exciting places to spend a summer weekend.
