LONDON ADVENTURES

As we enter what may well be a tricky month for many, The Little Argonaut have curated three entirely free suggestions of events in London for you all this month. Enjoy!

Garden on The Green

Join The Garden Classroom on Newington Green on Wednesday mornings 10am-12 noon to maintain and create garden space. No experience required, just wear sturdy shoes. Refreshments and friendly people provided. No need to book, simply join other nature lovers at the TGC Hut on Newington Green.

Wednesdays, 10-12pm | Newington Green, N1 4RF
