If you’ve lived in London a while, you’ll know what BYOB is. But have you heard of BYOD before now? Thought not. Meaning ‘bring your own Doritos’, it’s your chance to take your favourite flavour to any participating restaurant or food truck and load up with bold flavour combos from just £5. It’s all part of Doritos Loaded Month – which might ring a bell from last year’s Doritos Loaded Week. As the name suggests, this year Doritos Loaded is back and bigger than ever, popping up in three cities around the UK for a whole month of deliciousness. Yep, you heard that right, this summer you can enjoy Doritos Loaded Month from May 23 to June 28 at a whole host of street-food hotspots around London – as well as Manchester and Glasgow. But where to go if you find yourself in the capital during this period?

If your social feeds are anything like ours, you’ll already know all about Doritos Loaded. It’s a full-blown casual gastro phenomenon based on one thing: topping your bag of Doritos with the most exciting and flavoursome street food from your city. For those not in the know, let us bring you up to speed. Doritos Loaded lets you take your own bag of Doritos – it’s BYOD, if you will – to a participating restaurant, food truck or market stall. That bag is then ripped open, loaded with bold flavours (think Mexican shredded chicken, Korean chilli beef and BBQ pork belly) and served right back at ya – all starting from as little as £5. The whole thing has been such a sensation that for 2026 Doritos Loaded has expanded from a week-long affair to an entire month. Even more excitingly, this year it’ll take place in more cities around the UK. London, Manchester and, vitally, Glasgow will be getting a piece of the action.

The slow evolution of spring into summer in London is a wonderful thing: the clocks go forward, you no longer have to leave work under the cover of darkness, and instead of hibernating inside in front of the TV, everyone’s finally back up and about, ready to experience the brilliance the city has to offer all over again.This summer, one unmissable event in London’s calendar is Kew Gardens’ huge Henry Moore exhibition, Monumental Nature. Organised in partnership with the Henry Moore Foundation, and supported by The Nora McNeely Hurley Foundation with additional support from Sotheby's, this is the largest ever presentation of outdoor artworks by this prolific creator of public art – and these grand, imposing sculptures have to be seen to be believed. They’re also accompanied by a show displaying some of Moore’s smaller scale works, tracing a throughline that spans his entire career, and offering a rare, comprehensive look at his brilliant work. That should be more than enough to convince you to get yourself over to Kew Gardens, but here are some further reasons to catch this exhibition while you can, for good measure.

Offering its guests an immersive dining experience, an evening at The Coconut Island is not simply a meal – it's an escapist adventure, ideal for groups and special occasions. After enjoying much success at its Brighton flagship, The Coconut Island has taken over the former Bill's site at 9 White Lion Street and opened up a brand-new restaurant, offering a fun, flavour-packed, high-energy Sri Lankan experience – a much-needed mini escape in the heart of the capital. As a 'food lover from Sri Lanka's northern region', founder Keith has a 'deep-rooted passion for authentic Sri Lankan flavours' – and it shows.

Pounding the pavement this Sunday, April 26 will be no less than 50,000 runners participating in the annual London Marathon, which will see them complete a punishing 26.2-mile route through the capital. But it’s all for a good cause, from raising money for charity to clocking a personal best, while it’s the perfect excuse for a day out for the rest of us cheering from the sidelines rather than working up a sweat. But whatever your role on the day, one thing’s for sure: the spectacle deserves to be celebrated! Good news, then, that Greene King pubs are some of the best watering holes along the route, from Wapping to Covent Garden and Westminster. Better still, the pubs are championing the heroes of the day in the best possible way – with free, ice-cold and thoroughly-deserved drinks. It couldn’t be easier, either: simply take your proof of finish – a shiny medal or website result will do nicely – along with your ID, and show the server when ordering your round. From pints and spritzes to soft drinks and even rosé, there’ll be something to suit every kind of finisher. Never will a drink have tasted quite as good!  Here, we round-up the best pubs that are on or near the route to congregate at during or after. Cheers for beer, we say!
