The 6 best free things to do in London this weekend [February 27-29 2026]

"Club culture legend Honey Dijon is taking over Tate Lates for a celebration of queer culture and creativity this February. Check out the DJ sets that she's programmed in Tate's South Tanks (which will be decked out with her photos), Terrace Bar and Corner Bar, go on a LGBTQIA+ tour of Tate Modern or take part in a community zine-making session with Zoë Thompson, founder of sweet-thang zine."

"Across town, the V&A is hosting its own late exploring of gender expression, belonging and change in East and Southeast Asian culture. There's a DJ set from Filipino DJ Miamor, performance art inspired by Chinese spiritual traditions from artist Zhuyang Liu and a zine-making workshop reimagining stereotyped female figure Xiaomei with artist and researcher Funa Ye."

London provides abundant free cultural opportunities throughout the weekend of February 27-March 1, 2026. Tate Modern hosts a Tate Late event curated by club culture legend Honey Dijon celebrating queer culture and creativity, featuring DJ sets, LGBTQIA+ tours, and zine-making workshops. The V&A simultaneously offers late-night programming exploring gender expression and East and Southeast Asian culture, with performances, DJ sets, and curator tours. These events complement London's broader offerings of affordable dining, free art exhibitions, discounted show tickets, and regular pop-ups, markets, and cultural festivals that make the city accessible for budget-conscious visitors.
