The summer season is upon us

 For those looking for sunshine and plenty of buzz, August is the ideal time to visit London. This month brings an array of exciting events and activities, that'll promise to make a thrilling getaway.

For anyone visiting over the August bank holiday, check out the iconic Notting Hill Carnival. A celebration of Caribbean culture, it has grown to be the largest street festival in Europe, featuring 50,000 performers in the parade and more than 30 sound systems. 

The iconic Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded almost all of their music in the 1960s, is opening its doors to the public for a series of exclusive talks exploring the past, present and future of the recording studio. Open for a limited time only, 5th-13th August.

London may be a City, but that doesn't mean you can't find ways to escape the heat. Cool off in one of the many lidos, from the Serpentine Lido across the park to the Parliament Fields Lido up in Hampstead Heath.   

Make this summer holiday one to remember.
