What to Do, See and Eat in June

As we continue to bask in the glory of the May heatwave, there’s a noticeably jubilant energy in the air. Gaggles of happy Londoners have filled the streets – be it al fresco dining, rooftop drinking or lazy afternoons sunbathing in grassy parks. So as we approach the summer season head-on, SPHERE selects the best things to do this June.

SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden Launches SAMBAHOUR

The Covent Garden piazza is perfectly primed for alfresco dining and where better to bathe in the city sun than the SUSHISAMBA terrace? This month, the Peruvian-Japanese fusion is launching SAMBAHOUR – a new weekday happy hour featuring a curated menu of cocktails alongside elevated small plates. The former will be the main event, with standouts like the Coco Loco and Kyoto Spritz featuring. Food-wise, diners can expect a selection of SUSHISAMBA favourites such as black cod anticuchos, yellowtail taquitos and tempura prawn rolls.

Bodyism Summer Series at Templeton Gardens

The good weather is the perfect excuse to start working out en plein air. There’s no better way to do it this season than at the Templeton Gardens x Bodyism summer series – a three-month programme of outdoor movement. Here, the garden at the townhouse hotel transforms into a wellness space set beneath the trees for a weekly wellness class every Saturday. Rotating between yoga, pilates and Bodyism Signature classes, led by Bodyism’s expert trainers, it’s the perfect way to welcome in the weekend.

Marilyn Monroe Exhibition & Centenary Book

Known as the original triple threat, Marilyn Monroe will forever go down in history as a Hollywood icon. 2026 marks what would be her 100th birthday and in celebration, the Marilyn Monroe estate is partnering with the National Portrait Gallery to launch Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait. The exhibition will explore the life, career and legacy of Marilyn Monroe through portraits created by some of the greatest artists of the last century, including Andy Warhol, Cecil Beaton and Sam Shaw. Some of the works featured in the show will also appear in Marilyn Monroe 100 – the only official book published with the approval of Marilyn Monroe’s estate.

Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait runs from 4 June – 6 September at the National Portrait Gallery. Tickets can be purchased here and the Marilyn Monroe 100 book can be purchased here.

The Mount Street Neighbourhood Summer Festival returns to Mayfair this June. Running from 4th – 20th June, the two-week programme brings together art, publishing, fashion and food across London’s premier shopping neighbourhood. Highlights will include Kathryn Maple’s painting residency and public sketching workshops and the Thames & Hudson pop-up bookshop showcasing rare and vintage editions, signed and limited runs.

Daylesford Soil & Supper

No one does countryside charm quite like Daylesford. So, we were delighted to hear that the Cotswolds brand was introducing From The Market Garden, a new seasonal supper club series celebrating produce grown, harvested and served at peak freshness from its farm. The next edition, Soil & Supper, will be held on 6th June and will be led by Head of Market Garden Jez Taylor and Dr Guy Hayward of the British Pilgrimage Trust. The evening will start with a “beating the bounds” ceremony - a medieval tradition marking and blessing the boundaries of the land ahead of the growing season. Guests then gather for a seasonal feast accompanied by live folk music and Ceilidh dancing, in a celebration of community, culture and the living landscape.

Soil & Supper, 6th June 2026 - 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm at Daylesford Farm. Tickets can be reserved at daylesford.com

Sune Midsummer Party

It feels like the minute the clocks fall back, we’re all counting down until Midsummer – the longest day of the year, where the sun stretches past ten o'clock. This summer solstice, East London eatery Sune will be putting on a seasonal celebration. From 12 pm - 4 pm, there will be a pre-party Midsummer four-course brunch menu (£45pp), alongside an optional four-glass wine pairing poured by Honey Spencer and Sune. From 4 pm onwards, there will be an alfresco seafood BBQ from the Sune team and guest chef Georgia Lahiff, soundtracked by DJ sets from Hackney legend Chris Tindall & friends.

Petersham Nurseries Fireside Feasts

Outdoor dining is taken up a notch when the food is cooked fireside. Fortunately for Londoners, Petersham Nurseries is hosting a series of ‘Fireside Feasts’ in the private gardens of Petersham House. After a successful debut last year, the programme returns for three midsummer evenings of open fire cooking and long table dining. Guests are welcomed with cocktails before enjoying a four-course Italian-inspired feast, served with the Nurseries’ own house wine, with live music into the evening in a magical garden setting.
