You’ve tightened all the screws on your door handles, brushed the cat at least twice and have successfully avoided brushing your own hair. You’re pretty much done for the day, right? Wrong. Our list of activities has been put together to transport you away from the confines of your home and your mind for at least a couple of hours. So, what are you waiting for? Check out our carefully curated list of London virtual activities to keep you entertained from morning until, well potentially the next morning, depending on how hard you want to go.
London virtual activities: coming up
Friday 24th April – The Show Must Go On: Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical Stream
Missing the West End? This event could provide the perfect fix. Every Friday, The Show Must Go On will be releasing a full-length, smash-hit musical for you to watch for free. And if you’ve accidentally double-booked yourself (we get it, video chatting with your mum takes priority), the stream will be available for 48 hours. Tune in with a cocktail or a cup of tea whenever you like over the weekend for a show-stopping time!
Saturday 25th April – LIVE QUARANTINE HOUSE PARTY
If you’ve been putting off showering every day since lockdown was imposed, now’s the time to grab your towel. Why? Because you’re invited on a virtual night out to remember. In its own words, this, “massive international mega live quarantine house party” will connect you to the rest of the world so you can see and party with everyone. Forget your standard kitchen house party hangout, Spain’s DJ Marco Carrera has been tasked with keeping everyone on their feet and partying throughout the night. So grab those hot pants and get moving!
We’ve all been quizzing like we’re training for University Challenge. And watching Netflix like we’ll be appearing on Mastermind: specialist subject, every TV show ever aired ever. But forget that. THIS is the event we’ve all been rehearsing for. Themed around new and classic TV shows such as Friends, The Office, Breaking Bad, YOU, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Peaky Blinders, The Crown and more, the quiz will weed out the worthiest brain among us and gift it a prize to remember. The prizes apparently include “some awesome (and not-so-awesome)” items for grabs
Sunday 26th April – Isolation Drag Bingo: Live Stream
To avoid Netflix’s ‘Are you still watching?’ message burning itself into your retinas, step away from the TV and play bingo with RuPaul’s Drag Race star, Charlie Hides, instead. The ever-vivacious Charlie is a well-known member of the London drag scene, but earned international fame with her vibrant performances season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race star. In true Hides form, her entertaining commentary on this classic game is sure to brighten up your weekend. Get your tickets before it’s a full house.
Thursday 30th April to Sunday 10th May 2020 – D’A Online Film Festival

There’s something for everyone! So grab your family, housemates or pets, choose your team name and get ready to take on households across the UK—give it your all and you could even win a prize!
Saturday 2nd May – West End Musical Brunch: Live Stream! – London
While you can’t go to the West End right now, you can drag the West End kicking, screaming and sonorously singing into your very own living room with its West End Musical Brunch event. Have fun with the biggest West End stars, watch live performances and enjoy interactive musical theatre-themed games to keep you on your toes. There’s also a Q&A with the stars so you can finally ask those questions you’ve been dying to ask about your favourite shows. But be warned, this event will see the audience become the cast, so make sure you warm up those vocal cords and joints before the big day.
Cirque du Soleil CirqueConnect
Blink and you may miss a high kick here or a stealthy slide there, but the magic of Cirque du Soleil has never failed to touch every heart in the audience. And let’s face it, we’re all a little in need of some magic at the moment. So leave the everyday behind and enjoy behind-the-scenes videos, 60-minute specials, virtual reality, activities for kids, CirqueFit workouts, Blue Man documentaries, make-up tutorials, and much more. By the time we’re allowed out, the Soleil crew could have a new troupe member in you!
