Not everything has to be about partying until the early hours of the morning and while London's nightlife industry has never been better, sometimes you just can't wait. There are so many different things to do in London before the sun goes down, from bottomless brunches to quirky activities and immersive experiences. If you're feeling a bit bored, check out this list of daytime events in London and have fun 24/7 in the big smoke.
