London is at its most inviting once the evenings draw in and this autumn there is no shortage of great reasons to head into the capital.
Whether it is dinner at a favourite restaurant, a night at the theatre, tickets to a comedy show or something livelier still, here is where to look.
Theatre and shows
The West End remains in fine form, with long-running favourites, such as Wicked, The Lion King, Les Misérables and Matilda the Musical continuing to draw full houses alongside newer arrivals bringing fresh energy to the capital’s stages.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and The Play That Goes Wrong remain reliable choices for a night that mixes spectacle with a good laugh.
Not to mention that autumn is traditionally when many of the year’s biggest new productions open, so keep an eye out for what is coming up at some of the capital’s most prestigious theatres.
Comedy nights
Soho is still the natural home of London comedy, with venues such as Soho Theatre and the Top Secret Comedy Club hosting a rotating line-up of stand up most nights of the week.
For something bigger, keep an eye on the arena schedules, as autumn tends to bring a wave of major stand up tours through London’s larger venues.
Live music
From intimate jazz clubs in Soho to the O2 Arena’s biggest autumn tours, London’s live music scene rarely slows down.
The Royal Albert Hall’s autumn season is worth a look too, mixing classical programming with more contemporary acts.
Somewhere to eat
Covent Garden, Borough Market, Shoreditch and Soho remain dependable choices for a pre- or post-show meal, with new openings arriving across the capital every month.
Whatever you fancy, autumn is a good excuse to try somewhere new.
