Cheapskate London - Monday 12 January 2026

👀 London’s best no-spend events this week

The capital’s best free events from Jan 12-18th

Happy Monday Cheapskater,

Welcome back to another week of fantastic free events in London!

I’d like to start with a quick thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out our New Year’s feedback form in last week’s newsletter. We appreciate everything you had to say, and we look forward to taking many of your ideas on board in the coming weeks.

I hope you love this week’s newsletter!

PS: Congrats to reader Angela R and Cheapskate Club member Stephen D, who each won a signed copy of the much-hyped new novel Family Drama (as featured in our last email). Scroll down for this week’s brilliant, free-to-enter competition! 👀

🎓 Learn something new

Since 1597(!) Gresham College has been offering Londoners FREE lectures on the forces that shape our world. This week, for example, there’s a look at the links between music & colour, & next month there’s a deep dive into the ethics of satire. Can’t make the in-person events? Check out the college’s vast online collection, which dissects hundreds of topics.
