Ready for summer? Us too. And this June promises to be one to remember as the capital kickstarts a new season. From exquisite new restaurants and supper clubs, to an international polo festival and unique exhibitions, here are the coolest things to do in London in June 2025.

The collaboration: Pan Pacific London x Jo Loves

Take a trip to Lake Como without leaving Liverpool Street thanks to Pan Pacific London’s collaboration with luxury fragrance house, Jo Loves. Having transformed its Sensory Wellbeing Floor into a European poolside retreat, the takeover celebrates the launch of Jo Loves’ newest limited-edition fragrance, With Love from Como, with evocative citrusy scents, serene scenery and sophisticated cocktails. 

Available to both hotel guests and wellbeing day-pass guests, the space is outfitted with bright umbrellas, floats and deck chairs around its impressive 18.5m infinity pool. Whet your whistle at the chic Lake Como pop-up café and enjoy limoncello, clementine and peach mimosas paired with light bites such as wild mushroom arancini and classic bruschetta. To truly immerse yourself in the spirit of dolce far niente, however, visit on the last Wednesday of every month for Fragrance Tapas: an exclusive opportunity to explore Jo Loves’ new fragrance collection through immersive tapas-style presentations, featuring bath colognes, whipped lotions and chilled cleansers. 

The Jo Loves pool takeover runs until the end of August 2025. For more information, visit panpacificlondon.com.

The horology event: London Watch Week

The members’ club: Supporters’ House

The National Gallery will open its doors to London’s latest cultural hotspot on 2 June: Supporters’ House. Marking the first time the art-led, Trafalgar Square-based institution has launched a dedicated space for members and patrons, this new club will feature the best in food and drink alongside specially curated events all accessed through the new House Membership. Designed to be a home away from home for those who want to spend more quality time in proximity to great art, the bar, lounge and dining room is serviced with menus by Giorgio Locatelli to offer quiet luxury in the heart of the city. 

Opening old doors to new spaces, Supporters’ House occupies former curatorial offices and has been transformed by New York-based architect Annabelle Selldorf, alongside Studio Linse, to create an oasis of calm. Don’t miss the curated programme of events hosted in the salon – set to be a new London hotspot for regular conversations with curators, talks by renowned authors, and creative masterclasses – starting with Art Distilled on 6 June 2025, which will see Nancy Durrant sit down with curators over a cocktail. Chin, chin.

The exhibitions: Hands on Horology, Art in Mayfair and Clare Dudeney’s Held In Motion 

A new exhibition designed for watch lovers will open at Shoreditch’s Protein Studios on 14 June, offering horologists a hands-on experience to discover, try on and purchase timepieces.

Beyond the exhibition, visitors can enjoy exclusive brand launches, limited-edition show watches and whisky tastings.

The New West End Company has partnered with the Royal Academy of Arts for its eighth edition of Art in Mayfair this summer. This year's striking public art installation is by Honorary Royal Academician Anselm Kiefer, who has been tasked with creating a series of flags that will adorn Bond Street from 16 June. In a vivid tribute, the flags will showcase recent works by Kiefer inspired by Van Gogh’s iconic sunflower motif, bringing the influence of the Dutch master to the heart of London’s West End.

From 27 June, The Dot Project will be hosting a new solo exhibition at Greenwich’s Thames Side Studio Gallery with multi-disciplinary artist Clare Dudeney. Titled Held In Motion, this is the artist's most expansive show to date and celebrates the ever-changing nature of life via abstract woven terrains, ceramic weavings, and large-scale fabric collages.

The restaurants: The Chalk Freehouse and Noisy Oyster 

Tom Kerridge is bringing a slice of his Marlow-based two Michelin-starred pub, The Hand and Flowers, to Chelsea on 16 June as he overhauls his former pub, The Butcher’s Tap and Grill. Rebranded as The Chalk Freehouse and helmed by chef Tom De Keyser – who has worked alongside Kerridge for 12 years, and was most recently head chef at The Hand and Flowers – the opening is one of the most highly-anticipated on London’s food scene, with Kerridge fans yearning to taste his world-famous, fine dining pub grub. Comforting classics feature throughout, starting with snacks and starters including a cheese and onion scone with whipped mustard and herb butter and The Hand and Flowers’ signature chicken and duck liver parfait with poultry jelly. 

Mains, meanwhile, will highlight both land and sea, from a pork chop schnitzel with smoked bacon cabbage to curry-roasted baby chicken with braised butter beans and preserved lemon. The Chalk’s blackboard will also feature daily specials like olive oil baked turbot with bone gravy and fillet of beef on the bone with garlic butter. There will also be a lunch set menu, Sunday roast fare and a selection of homemade ice creams for dessert. 

Noisy Oyster will open its doors on 20 June as the latest brainchild of the duo behind Firebird in Soho, Madina Kazhimova and Anna Dolgushina. The new concept will be a modern and unpretentious take on the seafood bistro, serving up fine seafood and standout martinis in a striking, design-led monochromatic space.

The fish-forward menu draws influence from key coastal regions in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France while showcasing the best of the UK’s seafood. Alfie Bahnan (ex-Trullo, Paradise, Lagare) will lead the kitchen, with playful reimaginings of classic dishes: think freshly shucked oysters and inventive crudos to start, vibrant mains of dry-aged tuna steak with pink peppercorn sauce and trout roe and a rotation of pasta dishes, including crab bisque and fennel orecchiette. Of equal importance is the selection of sharp mini martinis, whose smaller size ensures each sip is perfectly ice-cold. Think stylish, upbeat and a little rowdy.

The Chalk Freehouse will open on 16 June 2025 at 25-27 Tryon Street, SW3 3LG, visit thechalkfreehouse.co.uk; Noisy Oyster will open on 20 June 2025 at Norton Folgate, E1 6DB, visit noisyoysterlondon.co.uk
