What’s on London: June 2025
Flea markets, food festivals, immersive installations and odd ice cream - here's the low down on London this month!
This is your official guide for London this month - wether you like thrifting, eating, installations or art, here are my top picks across the capital!
Vintage Shopping at Peckham Salvage Yard, Copeland Park, June 8–9, link
Calling all interior girlies and vintage treasure hunters: this one’s for you. Tucked away inside a former cricket bat factory at Copeland Park, Peckham Salvage Yard is a goldmine of vintage furniture, quirky lighting, reclaimed oddities, and all the bits you never knew your flat needed.
Whether you're on the hunt for a retro lamp, salvaged signage, or a weirdly wonderful ceramic dog, it’s the perfect spot to rummage, refresh your space, or just get inspired. There's a DJ on the decks, it’s dog-friendly, and with cute cafes and food stalls nearby, it’s the kind of Saturday plan that feels both productive and like a treat.
Entry is just £1.50 and you can easily make a day of it, so come with your bestie, leave with a tote full of trinkets and a coffee in hand.
Afterwards: Go for a drink on the rooftop of the Bussey Building or watch a movie at Rooftop Film Club!
Ice Cream Project, 7th June - 16th August, Knightsbridge, link
The Anya Hindmarch Ice Cream Project is officially back this summer, where pantry essentials meet posh ice cream. Every summer, Londoners queue for scoops of Kikkoman soy sauce, pesto, and even Vinegar-flavoured ice cream—and somehow, it works.
This minimalist white-walled parlour in Belgravia turns every weird cupboard staple flavour into the chicest frozen dessert imaginable. Some of last year’s viral hits are returning alongside new surprises - I’m desperate to go, it sounds like the kind of place you’ll want to bring a friend, take pics, and dare each other to try something wild.
Afterwards: Pop to the Saatchi gallery for the flower exhibition (See below!)
Deptford Flower Market, Every Saturday 9am-4pm, Free
Step over Columbia Road, because this year there’s a new flower market in town and this one is like a mini queer-friendly festival every Saturday. Founded by local florist duo Ru & Stu, it blends fresh blooms with baked goods, queer books, bold fashion, and community spirit. It’s not just a flower market, it’s a love letter to colour, joy and everyday creativity. Go early for coffee, browse with friends, and support something that genuinely feels fresh and exciting. It’s open every Saturday from 9am till 4pm, nearest station is Deptford Rail Station.
