Welcome back, London – let’s make this our best autumn ever. As the capital reopens, the opportunities for fantastic experiences become boundless. Whether you’ve been craving theatre, can’t wait to hit the dance floor or are keen to explore under-the-radar attractions, the time is now. Transport for London’s network is the key to getting around easily and affordably – which is why we’ve teamed up with TfL to bring you seven excellent activities for autumn, all of which are close to stations on the London Overground.

Head west to the LOL-fest that is London Wonderground – it’s a pop-up funfair-meets-Fringe-festival from the Underbelly team. Catch stand-up shows from the likes of Lucy Porter, Stephen K. Amos and Eshaan Akbar; plus circus, cabaret, kids’ shows and more.
Free entry to site. Tickets from £12.50.

Missing live theatre? The Kiln is back with a collection of vivid stories, all told over one performance, inspired by the people who have shaped north west London. ‘NW Trilogy’ (until October 9) takes audiences on a journey from an Irish dance hall to the story of a woman searching for her father, a reggae musician who was once part of the Trojan Records scene.
From £15.

If, like us, one of the big things you missed during lockdown was swimming, then why not get back into it at one of the loveliest lidos in London? This Grade II-listed beauty happens to be the only outdoor pool in the UK with a stainless steel pool liner, which gives the water a gorgeous shimmer. Afterwards, head up Parliament Hill for stunning skyline views.
From £7.09.
