There has been an overwhelming amount of interest in visiting London this year as a direct result and many of the events and celebrations taking place will culminate in a 4 day weekend at the start of June. Here are the confirmed highlights at the start of June period in what is sure to be a spectacular start to the Summer in London:

  • Museums, theatres and cinemas can open
  • Hotels, Hostels and Bed & Breakfasts can reopen
  • Restaurants and pubs are able to serve customers indoors and social distancing guidelines have eased.
  • People can meet in groups of up to 30 outdoors

From the 21st of June 2021 it is hoped that all legal limits on social contact will be removed.
