Love Summer returns: the ultimate free summer experience in Canada Water
Unwind, explore, and celebrate with free social activities, workshops, and live music by the waterside in Canada Water this summer.
Summer in the city just got better as Love Summer, the popular pop-up oasis, returns to Canada Water for its second year. This central waterside destination invites Londoners and visitors alike to unwind and enjoy an array of free social activities, workshops, and live music.
Located next to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, Love Summer offers a diverse range of activities, from weekend music showcasing local emerging talent to arts classes and wellbeing workshops like yoga, pilates, and terrarium making; there's something for everyone. For those seeking adventure, there are Wallball and climbing sessions at London's first dedicated bouldering centre.
The Summer Terrace embodies the essence of British summertime with garden party vibes, deck chairs, lawn games, and charming bunting. The Plant Pavilion, inspired by Canada Water's creative community and surrounded by park, woodland, and water, offers a greenery-filled space to relax and enjoy local street food or a self-prepared picnic. Love Summer invites you to embrace the summer spirit, explore new activities, and enjoy a vibrant and enriching community gathering!
