In pictures: chaotic scenes at Soho’s 2026 Waiters’ Race and Village Fête is one of our hand-picked Events finds for London. Time Out photographer Chris Bethell headed down to the Soho Village Fête on Sunday to capture the legendary event, which also featured a tug.
Why London? London is a vast, layered world city where royal history, endless neighborhoods, green parks and global food sit side by side. The city is known for royal landmarks, free world-class museums, West End theatre and markets.
Good to know: May–September for parks and long evenings; December is festive but cold and dark early. The Tube and buses cover everything with a contactless tap; central areas reward walking.
