1. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre
As every Londoner eagerly awaits the sun’s return this week, so does Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

If the rain stays away long enough, make sure to check out their incredible productions of Robin Hood, The Tempest, and Once on this Island: A Musical, as well as the terrific Dinosaur Live (shown in the daytime for the little ones).

Guess who’s back? No, not Eminem, but something just as entertaining - a free, pop-up mini golf at Canary Wharf. The colourful, kaleidoscopic installation has been designed by none other than art experts Craig Redman and Karl Maierthe, with plenty of striking patterns and checked colours that are sure to brighten up your game (or make that hole in one just a teeny tiny bit trickier). Open from 12-6pm every day, grab your most competitive friends and putt your skills to the test - who can say no when it’s free?
Location: Montgomery Square, Canary Wharf, London E14
4. The Painted Hall

Nicknamed ‘Britain’s Sistine Chapel’, this stunning Greenwich gem can be found in the heart of The Old Royal Naval College. Escape the hustle and bustle of central with a trip to The Painted Hall, a breath-taking historical masterpiece with impressive architecture and paintings designed in the 18th century. Best of all? You can speak to the lovely staff at the welcome desk about validating your ticket for the entire year which means plenty of free visits.
