08 Sep Totally Thames Festival

Your Festival Weekend Plan: Thames by Day, Sicily by Night

September in London means one thing: the Totally Thames Festival. For a whole month, the capital comes alive with riverside art installations, boat races, live music, and cultural events celebrating the city’s iconic river. Whether you’re wandering along the Southbank, discovering hidden performances on the water, or soaking up open-air exhibitions, the Thames is the heartbeat of London this September.

But once the sun sets and the riverside quiets down, why not keep the day flowing with a taste of the Mediterranean? Just a short trip from the Thames, Sicily Restaurant in Belgravia is the perfect place to end your festival day with Sicilian warmth, flavour, and hospitality.

A Perfect Festival Weekend Itinerary

Morning:
Start with a walk along the Southbank, where you’ll find stunning art installations inspired by the river. Don’t miss the pop-up photography displays and interactive art that capture the life and history of the Thames.

Afternoon:
Catch one of the river parades or live performances. From choir concerts to immersive theatre on boats, there’s always something unexpected happening along the water. If you’re a history lover, look out for archaeology walks uncovering stories buried along the riverbanks.

Evening:
After a full day by the Thames, head over to Belgravia for a well-deserved dinner at Sicily Restaurant. Picture yourself trading the cool river breeze for the warm, rustic aromas of Italian cuisine:

• Freshly prepared seafood pasta to echo your riverside adventures.

• A crisp Etna Bianco or a bold glass of Nero d’Avola to toast the evening.

• Traditional Sicilian desserts like Tiramisú to finish on a sweet note.

It’s the perfect way to round off a day of culture, community, and celebration.
