London Festivals & Fairs 2009

Royal parks, historic houses and the city's waterways create beautiful backdrops for some of the best festivals in London. And summer is the time to make the most of London's wide open green spaces. Helped by the recent explosion of live music festivals, there's a huge choice of things to do outdoors. We've come up with our select highlights for the summer ahead, listed month by month. From free street festivals to big name bands rocking Hyde Park, there's a whole load of festival fun to get excited about.
