Now in its eighth year, Summer in the City is bigger than ever, with a huge variety of events on offer. There are some great things to do across Kensington and Chelsea to keep everyone entertained all summer long. We have some old favourites such as GO Golborne’s Party in the Park as well as some great new activities that give you the chance to get in touch with your creative or active side. Most of the activities are suitable for people with a disability, but always check out the website for more details (mysummerinthecity.org.uk). The website will be updated throughout the summer with even more activities, which will be open to residents of Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster, unless otherwise stated. There is no excuse to stay indoors when there is so much to do in London. Try something new this summer and be sure to tell us all about it by tagging your photos with the hashtag #MySITC.
