Concerts Tonight in London

Things to do in London today

The fastest way to see what is on in London today is to scroll the event list above, which auto-sorts by start time. Same-day West End tickets are almost always available through the TKTS booth in Leicester Square — open daily from 10 or 11 am, with same-day stalls and circle seats at 20 to 50 percent off the box office.

The TodayTix app runs digital lotteries for the biggest musicals at £25 to £40. Comedy clubs at the Comedy Store, Top Secret, and Soho Theatre nearly always have walk-up seats outside weekend headliners.

London is a theatre matinee plus evening city. A 2.30 pm West End matinee, a quick dinner in Covent Garden or Soho, and a 7.30 pm second show is the local power move on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

For tonight, check the Roundhouse, KOKO, Heaven, the Jazz Cafe, and Ronnie Scott's for last-minute gig availability. The O2, Wembley, and the bigger arena shows almost always sell out weeks ahead, but resale through verified UK secondary platforms covers most of the week.

Transport reality shapes the late-night plan. The Tube's last train out of central runs roughly 12.30 to 1 am weeknights, earlier than most expect.

Night Tube runs all night Friday and Saturday on the Victoria, Central, Jubilee, Northern, and Piccadilly lines plus the Overground from Highbury to New Cross. Night buses fill the rest.

Past 1 am on a weeknight outside Night Tube coverage, budget £20 to £40 for a cab home.
