Good morning, listeners! Welcome to Things to Do in London, your daily guide to the absolute best happenings in this magnificent city. I'm Ollie Bennett, your globe-trotting, quirk-obsessed guide to everything extraordinary, and wow do we have a spectacular Saturday lined up for you today, November 29th, 2025!

Right, so here's the vibe on this beautiful late autumn day in London—the city's absolutely electric because we're sliding straight into the Christmas season, and honestly, the festive energy is already palpable. The temperature's crisp, perfect for exploring, and the streets are buzzing with that pre-holiday magic that makes London feel like you're inside a snow globe.

Now, let me hit you with the highlights happening TODAY that'll absolutely make your Saturday unforgettable. First up, if you're a theater fanatic, A Christmas Carol is playing at the Old Vic this evening at seven o'clock, and trust me, this is the theatrical event of the season. Second, calling all music lovers—the English National Opera is hosting a spectacular performance at the London Coliseum starting at six PM, with tickets from just fifteen quid. That's an absolute steal for world-class opera, listeners!

But wait, there's more for the culturally curious. The Tower of London is hosting its famous Ceremony of the Keys tonight, where you'll actually get to witness the ritualistic locking up of the Tower—it's absolutely mesmerizing and genuinely one of those bucket-list experiences. Plus, artist Liliane Lijn is giving a fascinating talk at Tate Modern about her creative journey spanning from 1959 to today. And if you're feeling a bit quirky like me, the Wimbledon Windmill is doing an occasional test run of its sails today—yes, you can actually see a working windmill in action right here in London!

For something genuinely weird and wonderful, the London Transport Museum is showcasing an incredible collection of rarely seen original artworks from World War Two, documenting the city's resilience. It's moving, it's historical, and it's absolutely captivating.

Here's your local pro tip, listeners: November's actually the perfect time to explore London's hidden museums without the massive summer crowds.
