A day in London can hold a lot if you let it. The mornings belong to markets and galleries, the afternoons to exhibitions, matinees, and walking tours, and the evenings to gigs, theatre, and the rooms that only really wake up after dark. There is almost always something to do in London today, whatever hour you happen to have free.
This guide pulls together events happening across the capital today, daytime and evening alike, all of them in person. Every listing shows its time and venue, so you can build a plan around the hours you have rather than guess at what might still be open.
It is a different rhythm from an evening-only view. A morning at a market can run into an afternoon exhibition and then a show after dark, all in one day, and the list below is meant to help you string those moments together rather than treat them as separate outings.
The page refreshes as venues confirm their programmes, so it keeps pace with the day itself. Whether you have a spare hour at lunch or a whole day to fill, scan what is on, pick something that fits, and go.

How we pick
OnlyHere tracks live listings from over a hundred London venues, councils, and programmers, refreshed nightly. Picks favour events with confirmed dates, real venues you can find on a map, and editorial notes written by us, not the promoter. Prices and dates come from the listing itself; we never guess.
Frequently asked questions
What is there to do in London today?
On any given day London offers markets, exhibitions, live music, comedy, theatre, film, walking tours, and family events across the city, running from the morning through to late at night. The page above lists what is actually on today, with the time and venue on each one, so you can plan around the hours you have free.
What can I do in London today in the daytime?
Daytime leans toward markets, gallery and museum visits, exhibitions, matinee performances, and walking tours, with quieter crowds on weekday mornings. The listing above covers events across the whole day, so daytime options sit alongside the evening ones and you can filter down to what suits the time you have.
What is free to do in London today?
Most of the major museums and galleries are free to enter, and beyond those you will find free markets, pub gigs, talks, and community events on most days. Because every OnlyHere listing shows its price, free entry is easy to identify, so filter for free events to see what is on today at no cost.
How is this different from the tonight listing?
This page covers the whole of today, daytime and evening together, so it includes things that finish before the night begins, such as markets, matinees, and afternoon tours. The tonight listing narrows to the evening only. Use this one to plan a full day and the tonight page when you just want somewhere to go after dark.
