THE last lingering summer sunsets have long faded, but there is plenty of light left. October 24 marks Diwali, where the triumph of good over evil is celebrated. This festival of light is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddists and Jains; last weekend saw Trafalgar Square alive with music and dancing as the Mayor's official celebrations took off. But there is still so much to come: from fireworks to family-friendly festivities, here's where to celebrate Diwali across town.
Diwali Bollywood Night at Proud City London
Asian club favourites Bollywood Bhangra Nights will take over this central London cabaret club for a Diwali celebration. The music policy ranges from bhangra and Bollywood to hip-hop and R&B, and advance tickets are available for a fiver - it's certainly a good way to keep the party going into the small hours.
⬤ From £5, 11pm-3.30am, October 21, Proud City London, 1 Mark Lane, EC3R 7AH, eventbrite.co.uk
Finding Diwali at the National Maritime Museum
Live music, dancing, family workshops, talks, tours and more will make up this Diwali celebration down in Greenwich. Hosted by BBC Asian Network presenter and comedian Parle Patel, with South Asian arts collective COMMONGROUND& on curation duties, all the events are free to attend (book ahead to guarantee entry). It'll all conclude with a lantern parade and light shows as the sun sets.
⬤ Free, 10am-8.30pm, October 22, Romney Road, SE10 9NF, rmg.co.uk
