Here are six amazing things to do in London this weekend, no matter your mood
The weather can’t decide what to deliver us this weekend, but regardless, there’s fun to be had across the capital, whether you’re cheering on the British Olympics with a pint in hand or testing the limits of how many chicken wings you can eat a festival devoted to them.
Get lost in the capital with these best activities across town.
AT CHICKEN WINGS – LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM Wing Fest is said to be the world’s largest chicken wing festival, putting even our American cousins to shame. No fewer than 45 chefs, restaurants and street food vendors will descend upon the London Stadium, with music and competitions making sure everyone stays entertained. wingfest.co.uk

HANG LOOSE AT CAMDEN FRINGE If you can’t make it to the Edinburgh Fringe during August, make the most of London’s Camden Fringe. It’s basically just as good, with dozens of comedy, theatre and cabaret shows throughout the whole month, and many cost under a tenner. camdenfringe.com
