London events in January

As part of YouTube’s 12 Days of Culture programme, some of London’s best theatres will be streaming shows for free on the platform. You can watch plays, pantomimes and ballets from the likes of Donmar Warehouse, Royal Opera House and Sadler’s Wells, plus Little Angel Theatre and Unicorn Theatre for kids’ entertainment. You’ve got until January 5 to watch them all.

Raise a wee dram to Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns! London’s Burns Night celebrations may look a bit different from usual in 2021, but we’ll make sure you know about any whisky-filled celebrations as soon as they’re announced.
