As the sun begins to set, enter the secret world of The Night Museum — an unmissable week-long exploration of the hidden, the illicit and the lost. Join us in and around the Museum of London for a free after-dark mini-season of late-night parties, ghost clubs, dark electronica, dystopian visions, lost sounds, night voices, drinking dens, walks into darkness and mythical creatures of the night.

Lauren Parker, Senior Commissioning Curator at the Museum of London, said: “As the sun sets, The Night Museum will bring lost parts of London’s nightlife back to life. We’ll be paying homage to London’s club culture in the ‘Museum of Last Parties’ and inviting visitors to eavesdrop on some of London’s lost sounds. London’s night economy is a hot topic: with the uncertainty around Fabric’s future, and the arrival of the Night Tube, a lot is changing. We’re opening our doors after hours and want the city’s night owls to come and join the party.”

London Wine Week is a seven day festival celebrating the great and good of the city’s wine scene, including the bars and wine producers which make up this vibrant landscape as well as the best reds, whites, rosés and bubbles available.

Taking place in May each year the festival hosts events, discounted serves and exclusive offers. All you need to get involved is a wristband.

To get involved in the festivities you will need to wear a wristband; which cost £10 and are available to buy online. It is encouraged festival-goers to register in advance, although wristbands can also be purchased from one of the hubs which open on the first day of each festival. To access the discounts and offers all you have to do is show the bar staff your wristband. Essentially it’s your key to the city for the whole week, making you a part of the festival.

The Festival partners with over 100 bars for London Wine Week, all of whom serve a £5 wine flight of three delicious wines for wristband wearers. There is one flight available in each venue and you can see what these are online and in the guidebook – which you get for free when you collect your wristband. It’s a great chance to visit a new bar and try a new wines without hitting your bank balance.

The wine flights aren't shabby, bottom shelf bottles, but rather some beautiful varities and vintages from across the world. The flights are put together so each wine will either lead you to the next, compare a varitey or showcase the stark differences in the wine world. Last year festival attendees could immerse themselves in sunny Californian vineyards, dabble in the prestigious terroir of France or journey to Portugual, Chile and Australia in search of the perfect glass of wine, all in the comfort of London’s best bars. 

London Wine Week is about more than just about exploring the bars. Every year, together with their partners, they host fun and engaging events. This could be masterclasses, winery tours, parties, tastings or paired meals. Want to learn how wine is made? How to taste wine like an expert? How to pair wine with food? Which wines are best to drink at certain times of the year? Or just meet loads of fun Londoners and drink delicious wine with them? There’s an event for everyone, amateur to expert. You can expect to see favourite faces from last year including Wines of Portugal among newcomers such as Vins de Provence all keen to showoff their best wines.
