Cheapskate London - Monday 30 June 2025

Happy Monday Cheapskater,

For this week’s newsletter, we’ve partnered with the incredible Southbank Centre - we love them because they run so many free, diverse cultural events all year round. This weekend is the New Music Biennial - a free festival where you can discover some of the best new music being composed in the UK across all genres.

There are tonnes of amazing free events taking place (like immersive sound experiences, live performances and even a Baroque clubbing session) - see the full programme here! Tickets are being snapped up quickly, so make sure you book ahead.

Also, we have a new Cheapskater on the team! My name’s Clementine and I’m a recent Magazine Journalism graduate working on the newsletter one day a week - I’m so excited to write about all that London has to offer. I grew up in the city and am obsessed with all of its great cultural institutions, though I particularly love the theatre (the last thing I saw was a very interesting take on Medea at the Coronet in Notting Hill).

Have an amazing week,
Clementine x

P.S. Congrats to Cheapskate reader Mary E, who won tickets to the British Library’s summer exhibition in last week’s email. Scroll down for your chance to win an amazing experience at The Understudy, the riverside pub at the National Theatre.
