Here Are The Best Things To Do This Weekend
Summer may be officially over, but London never disappoints when it comes to keeping us occupied over the weekend. From a stellar comedy act to new foodie openings, there’s a great list of exciting things to look forward to this weekend in London, and close by. Here’s our picks of what to do this weekend, from the funny to the fabulous:
Have some laughs with Zarna Garg
The funniest mom on Instagram, Zarna Garg‘s hilarious take on being an immigrant in America, and her casual roasting of her kids and mother-in-law has made her quite the internet sensation. She’s appeared on Jimmy Fallon, at the Kennedy Center and of course, all over TikTok, and now she’s bringing her comedy tour to London this weekend. Tickets are running low – don’t leave your in-laws behind for this one.
