Updated: June 3, 2020 | By | More

The summer of 2012 was one to remember in London as England’s capital had the privilege of hosting the Olympic Games which prompted global press to define it as the ‘best ever Olympics’ of all time . But the fun doesn’t stop there and if you missed out on the prestigious event in 2012, you can still prepare yourself for an eventful summer of 2013.

1) Wimbledon Championships

The passion for sport doesn’t end with the Olympics, as the annual Tennis tournament sees the worlds very best compete in England for the Wimbledon Championship. British number one Andy Murray will be the star of the show as he seeks to finally win a grand slam in front of a home crowd.

After a public ballot, to randomly distribute tickets to visitors of the official Wimbledon websites, you can purchase tickets yourself on the day. Although the queue will be long, attending early is key. Who would want to miss out on a chance to see the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal up close on Court One?

You may even spot some royalty in Prince William or Kate Middleton as they often attend games, making the event that much more special.

2) British Summer Time at Hyde Park

There is never a better time to attend music concerts than during the summer as the very best of pop and rock culture come to Hyde Park, London. With headlining acts such as Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones and Elton John, it’s sure to be a festival to remember. It’s a good idea to purchase tickets for the show as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Bear in mind that there will be a lot of people at the park so make sure you get there at an earlier, more convenient time. If possible, instead of taking public transport, which is sure to be congested, National Car Hire can help you cut your travel times.

3) Film 4 Summer Screen

To cap it all off, if the sports and music wasn’t for you, Film 4’s yearly summer screening definitely will be. You won’t find a better place for some relaxed open-air entertainment coupled with the stunning backdrop of Somerset House. The best bit about the outdoor cinema is that you can bring in rugs, blankets and your own food to enjoy a picnic before the movie starts.

It is perfect for you and the family as you have hundreds of people in attendance all enjoying the experience with you. The full feature of movies is yet to be declared but past shows have included classics such as ‘Pretty in Pink’, as well as newer releases like ‘Lawless’, which was screened at this event as the first showing in the UK.

With plenty for you to do in London and many more activities on the cards, you’ll be guaranteed to have fun this summer of 2013.
