Welcome to 'Things to Do in London' on this vibrant Friday, April 4th, 2025 As spring blossoms in full force, London is buzzing with energy. The weather is mild and sunny, perfect for exploring the city, and the air quality is fresh, making it an ideal day to be outdoors.

Today, London offers a diverse array of events to cater to all interests. If you're a fan of theatre, head over to the Charing Cross Theatre to catch the new musical "Stiletto," an operatic tale of Venetian boys chasing opera fame. For a unique musical experience, "The Choir Of Man" at the Charing Cross Theatre features a real working bar on-stage, blending music with a pub atmosphere[1].

For families or those looking for a cultural experience, the Gillian Lynne Theatre is hosting "My Neighbour Totoro," a charming coming-of-age tale that celebrates childhood imagination. Alternatively, if you're in the mood for something lighter, "Dracula – A Comedy Of Terrors" at the Menier Chocolate Factory offers a gender-bending re-imagining of the classic horror story[1].

In the evening, consider a side-splitting comedy night at the Soho Comedy Factory, featuring both up-and-coming and well-known comedians. For a more serene experience, attend the free Choral Evensong service at St Paul's Cathedral, a beautiful way to see part of the cathedral without the crowds[1].

On the local front, London's public transportation network is as efficient as ever, making it easy to zip around the city. If you're planning to visit popular sights like St. Paul’s Cathedral or the Tower of London, remember that early mornings are the best time to avoid the crowds[2].

For must-do activities today, take a leisurely stroll along the Thames, which offers a great way to see some of London’s most iconic landmarks like the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and Tower Bridge. If you prefer green spaces, Hyde Park is a fantastic place to connect with nature and enjoy the spring flowers in bloom. Don’t miss the Serpentine Gallery or the Italian Gardens for additional cultural and natural beauty[4].

Here’s a local tip: If you're looking to blend in like a local, try visiting Borough Market. This bustling food market under the railway arches is perfect for finding a delicious lunch or snack, and it's a great place to mingle with locals and other visitors[4].

Looking ahead to tomorrow, April 5th, you might want to check out the guided tour down The Wandsworth Road to uncover the area's history, part of the Mayor's London Borough of Culture 2025 celebrations. Or, if you're interested in sports, the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race is on April 13th, a historic event that draws thousands of spectators along the Thames[3][5].
