 | | Some ideas to liven up (and cool down!) your summer
Discovered our latest summery content yet? We've got new and updated guides to the best rooftop bars, vegan ice cream, and refreshing play fountains that London has to offer, plus things to do during the school holidays and our art critic's pick of the season's biggest exhibitions. Bookmark the lot now then head outside once it's safe to do so (in case you hadn't noticed, it's blisteringly hot right now — ignore weather warnings at your peril!)
Air con your new best friend? A fair few West End theatres have it, with some fantastic shows to boot! See Back To The Future: The Musical at Adelphi Theatre, Grease at Dominion Theatre, or Matilda The Musical at Cambridge Theatre (a great shout if you've got kids to entertain). After something a little bit different? Try brand new immersive show Millennials at The Other Palace — book by 24 July to save up to 38% on tickets.
If you're up for something a little further afield, we can help you find your next getaway, with new weekend travel guides for cities as diverse as Porto, York and Edinburgh (though you'll want to get your skates on if you fancy visiting the Scottish capital ahead of the Fringe rush!). For lower-effort escapes, check out these Kent and Essex walks, this picturesque Suffolk seaside town, and this guide to Hertfordshire. Happy travels!
