🌺☀️ Midsummer in London - who are you bringing?

Swedes in London have been gathering informally in Hyde Park to celebrate Midsummer for almost two decades 🇸🇪

It’s a completely unofficial, community-led tradition where people arrive in small groups with picnic blankets, food, drinks, flower crowns, music and games - with no organiser, programme or formal structure ☺️

We’ve been lucky to have had Tobbe Ek leading the dancing year after year - what would all the Swedes have done without him? 😆

We dance, we sing, we play kubb, and we enjoy everything from fermented herring to strawberry cake 🍓🍰

This year, people will be gathering on Saturday 20 June from midday onwards.

If you’re planning to join the picnic, you can join our Heylo community to see the location, link in comments 📍🌼

And for those wanting to continue the celebrations into the evening, LondonSwedes will be hosting a World Cup screening of Sweden vs Netherlands, followed by a Midsummer-themed after-party 🎉🇸🇪⚽✨

Tickets are available now - we’d love to celebrate with you! ☺️

MUST VISIT ALERT ⭐️
Third time at and it somehow keeps getting better. For a family outing with a parent in town, it was an easy pick 🇸🇪🙋🏻‍♀️

Founded by Michelin-starred Swedish chef , the restaurant opened in 2021 and sits inside the Great Scotland Yard Hotel - worth a wander itself. Tip: try the giant rhino chair or the hidden lounge for a post-dinner drink 🍸

Huge thanks to Head Chef & team for an incredible evening. We got invited into the kitchen to watch the famous oysters being prepared by the fire. 🔥
They’ve just launched an immersive experience menu - a seasonal, fire-led journey full of Scandinavian flavours.

And the mushroom dessert? Still an all time favourite. 🍄 Highly recommend.

🌸MIDSUMMER 2026🌺

This year marks the first time since 2020 that we won’t be hosting our famous Midsummer lunches and dinners… but for good reasons. ❤️

Over the years we’ve tied flower crowns, laughed, danced, feasted on incredible Swedish food, and loudly (and slightly questionably) sung snapsvisor together. And trust us - we wish we could do it all again this year too.
BUT… just for this year, we’re doing something a little different!

⚽ Sweden vs Netherlands
🌺Official Midsummer After Party
📍 Central London
📅 20 June
Doors 5PM - midnight
Kick-off: 6PM

So gather your picnic, spend the day in Hyde Park with friends (and hundreds of other Swedes) and then join us from 5PM onwards as we all come together for a huge celebration in central London.

Expect great vibes, football, music, flowers, dancing and a proper Swedish summer atmosphere. 🇸🇪✨

🎟️ Tickets are released TOMORROW.
If you’ve already signed up, you’ll receive early access before we go live at 12PM.
This year only -we promise 😉

🇳🇱🇸🇪 NETHERLANDS VS SWEDEN - WORLD CUP + MIDSUMMER IN LONDON? ⚽️🌸

Date & time: 20 June 18:00

We’re currently exploring the idea of hosting a huge viewing party in central London for the World Cup this summer… and we’ve found a super venue 👀

Think giant screens, DJs, karaoke, photobooths, games, food, drinks & an afterparty 💃

And since it’s Midsummer weekend… expect some Swedish midsummer vibes too 🇸🇪✨

We’ve actually done this before - back in 2018, over 700 Swedes joined us to watch Germany vs Sweden during the World Cup 🔥

Right now we’re checking interest before confirming the venue - so if you’d like to join, please register your interest and ask your friends to do the same 😃🙏
