Written by Leah Sinclair

The city is brimming with events, restaurant openings, exhibitions and shows to visit next month  and here is our edit of the best of the best to check out this February and March.

It’s officially autumn and we’re keen to keep the good vibes going. 

After two years of staying indoors or slightly sad park hangouts, this summer allowed us to fully enjoy a number of events, festivals and warmer temperatures making it one for the history books – and it’s not over yet just because the season is changing. 

There are a number of exhibitions, pop-ups, restaurant openings and more for us to indulge in while making the most of being out with the people you hold dear this autumn – and we’ve discovered some of the best things to do in London next month.
