London Life Your indispensable guide to the capital

By all means, party, but protect our parks

- 

I'T'S shaping up to be a big summer for live music in the capital. June saw Lido Festival take over Victoria Park, as well as concerts by Dua Lipa and Beyoncé. This month, Oasis, Diana Ross and Billie Eilish take to stages across town, before festivals such as British Summer Time and All Points East unfold in Hyde Park and Victoria Park. Classical-music lovers flock to Kenwood and Hyde Park, too.

London's parks have, indeed, become favourite sites for live music. No fewer than four festivals took place at Brockwell Park in May, prompting a legal challenge from frustrated locals, who alleged the events were spoiling things for residents.
