It might seem like only yesterday when you woke up with a furry tongue and a pounding headache on New Year’s Day, but February has already rolled around and it’s a bumper month in 2024 thanks to the Leap Year.

There are also exhibition openings, new art shows and some big-name stage productions as London begins to wake up from its post-Christmas malaise. Plus, there’s a plethora of other great things to do, from February half-term fun to eye-popping orchids at Kew, a film festival for young cinephiles at the BFI, a massive, eclectic gig series at the Roundhouse and the last few weeks of London’s revamped festival of mime and physical theatre.
